Errors in U.S. State Department Terrorism Report

A U.S. State Department report on terrorism released in April, 2004, erroneously reported that global terrorism decreased in 2003 from 2002 levels. State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher later said that the report was based on faulty data, and that the corrected report will show "a sharp increase over the previous year."

The admin released a report that failed to include terrorist acts perpetrated after Nov, when things got uglier. This was obviously a ploy to downplay the fact that terrorism has increased, not decreased. But the Bush admin tried to pawn this off as an honest mistake, and they have made so many honest mistakes, people may just believe they are sloppy and incompetent at worst, instead of the manipulative, shameless liars that they are.
