Dirty bombs are a disruptive weapon, not a destructive weapon. I would consider it reasonable to label them, "Weapons of Mass Disruption," along with most chemical and many biological agents. Considering the quantities of material and dispersion devices available to terrorists or "rogue nations," nothing short of a nuclear attack is going to be severely destructive.
