Don't like the truth? Bury it!

Bush & Co. are at it again.
Since 1985, the federal government has published an annual terrorism report with the year's statistics on terrorist activities. This year, the State Department has cancelled the publication when it was learned that there were more terrorist acts in 2004 than ever since 1985. Indeed, last year there were 624 "significant" terrorist attacks, compared with 175 the year before, which was a record high at that time. These statistics do not include attacks against our troops in Iraq. I guess this report would not have agreed with George W's assessment of how great our war on terror is proceeding.

Interestingly, they tried to get away with altering the statistics in last year's 2003 report and were caught. The administration had to revise the original report last June when it was discovered that more than twice the number of deaths and significantly more attacks than took place than were reported in the original document.
