"The Lockerbie ‘Accident’ [Jay Nordlinger]In yesterday’s Impromptus, I jabbed a State Department spokesman whose bio calls 9/11 a “tragedy.” A reader has pointed out to me that, in recent days, former secretary of state Madeleine Albright has referred to the Lockerbie terror as an “accident.” (Watch her on YouTube, here.) We all make slips of the tongue, but this is particularly vexing, you may agree.
As you remember, the Obama administration has redefined “terrorism” as “man-caused disaster.” “Man-caused accidents”? How would that ring in Janet Napolitano’s ears?
P.S. When I was in college — grad school, actually — a leftist German student, in a class on the Cold War, referred to — get ready for this — “the Katyn accident.” I hadn’t thought of that in years. Have now."

Katyn, Lockerbie, 9/11 -- all little "accidents" on the glorious road to Pinko Nirvana.
It's correct to call Lockerbie a man-caused disaster. The man who caused it all was George W Bush.
The bombing of Panam Flight 102 happened in 1988, when W was still floundering about -- before he got involved with the Texas Rangers. But yes, Pepean logic says it's all Bush's fault, nevertheless. It's al making sense now.
