New terror report looks bad for Bush

[dArKeR]

AP , WASHINGTON

Significant acts of terror worldwide reached a 21-year high in 2003, the State Department announced as it corrected a mistaken report that had been cited to boost US President George W. Bush's war on terror.

Incidents of terrorism increased slightly during the year, and the number of people wounded rose dramatically, the department said in the revised report issued Tuesday.

J. Cofer Black, who heads the department's counterterrorism office, said the report, even as revised, showed "we have made significant progress" in the campaign against international terror.

1. Bush* needs to be called to task on this one...

When the incorrect data was initially published he took credit for his policies causing a "decrease" in terrorism worldwide. Since he was willing to take credit for the false data I think he should take the credit for the revised data showing that terrorism attacks are up along with the number of terrorist related deaths but it seems he only wants credit if the news is good. He is such a butthead, but most conservatives and neoconservatives are buttheads!
