"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
Kudos to the DTH Editorial Board for their chutzpah if not their sense of decorum, and *perhaps* not understanding just how unhappy some folks were going to be with them for their use of terminology.
Here’s the text of the article, with the original headline now edited, but the contentious term still included and defined above the text of the op-ed.
The new headline:

clusterfuck (n) : a complex and utterly disordered and mismanaged situation
