Poor Choice of Words

“STEPHANOPOULOS: Extremists now appear to have been emboldened. The moderates appear to be in retreat. There is no peace process. There is war. How do you answer administration critics who say that the administration’s actions have unleashed, have helped unleash the very hostilities you hoped to contain?

RICE: Well, first of all, those hostilities were not very well contained as we found out on September 11th, so the notion that policies that finally confront extremism are actually causing extremism, I find grotesque.”
From Crooks and Liars

I find the use of the word “grotesque” all wrong here. Grotesque is what human beings' bodies look like after being blown to smithereens in a war that was initiated as the result of a lie.
