US U-turn on upbeat terror report

[mn9driver]

"Global terror attacks are on the rise, says the US State Department, admitting an earlier report - which had claimed attacks were tailing off - was wrong.
The State Department reported in April that there were less terror attacks in 2003 than in any year since 1969.

Secretary of State Colin Powell said data in that report was misleading - but said this was an "honest" error.

Bush administration officials had cited the April report as proof that the US was winning its "war on terror". "

Just an honest mistake, right? Right??

1. It all comes down to either

there are a lot of incompetent people in the Bush administration, or there are a lot of lies, or more likely both. :puke:

2. More "Heros In Error"

That was a Chalabi statement regarding bogus info. about Iraq from his defectors.

Yes, Powell, just like your bogus representation to the UN.

6. The world is NOT safer and neither are we! Cover of RR funeral won't

last. The facts are bad enough but what is worse is that this lying administration lies once again. It's the cover up!!! I really want FOX to cover this like they cover heaping praise on Bush for "no new attacks in the USA since 9/11" What do they expect? How long was it between the first attack on the WTC and 9/11? Did they give Clinton credit for making the USA safer because there were no new attacks in the USA since the first WTC and the end of his term?
