That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.
Apparently the "politics of fear" is acceptable in talking about certain groups.

I'm sorry, and where do you have a quote from Napolitano (or anyone else who has claimed to stop using the term "terrorism") referring to the right wing nuts as terrorists? Did I miss that?
