Stop The Presses

For 20 years the State Department has published their analysis of the threat of terrorism in an annual report.

For this past year the State Department has found that, despite the administration’s claim to the contrary, terrorism is at a 20 year high.

So much for “winning the war on terror” as our boy George continues to brag about.

The Bush response to these new findings? Stop the presses.

There will not be a State Department report on terrorism for the year 2004.

For the record, the National Counterterrorism Center (the agency that provides the State Department with such data) reported 625 "significant" terrorism attacks worldwide in 2004, up from a previous high of 175 attacks in 2003.
