Army refers to looting as an "insurgency"!

All I can really say here is "what the hell?" I don't know if this is the result of an Army press person being too used to writing Iraq stories, or if the Army really is viewing this as an insurgency, but either way I'm flabberghasted that it got the editorial green light. Here is the primary source:

Referring to domestic lawlessness as an insurgency generally requires that:
a) The insurgents seek to overthrow some or all of the government, and
b) The insurgents are well enough armed and equipped not to be classified as rioters.


Insane.
