The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

If the Republicans look likely to lose the next election, all it takes is for one administration employee charged with hiring mercenaries for Iraq to to flip through his address book and make a few calls and outlay a couple of hundred grand, and a team of his ex-employees will blow up a bridge or a power station or something (he can leave all the details to them). Then Bush and his entourage get to stay in power until Bush thinks that "threat" is over. Which may be never.

I think the neocon organisations are now a major threat to the US' national security. They have access to money, and mercenaries, and they may be getting desperate. It only takes one.
