In case you haven’t been following the story, it’s about this so-called “Terror Report” that the Bush administration originally issued on April 28. In the original report, they said 1,593 people were wounded or killed in 2003 in terrorist attacks. Representative Henry A. Waxman and several analysts questioned the report and on June 10 the State Department admitted the numbers were wrong. On Tuesday, they republished a revised version of the report. In the new version, 3,646 were wounded or killed in terrorist attacks. Oh, just a 128% increase!

"The numbers were off," Secretary of State Colin Powell said, and "we have identified how we have to do this in the future." He also said the initial report was not designed "to make our efforts look better or worse."

The findings had been used by senior administration officials to bolster Bush's claim of success in countering terror.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel put it sarcastically, “Funny things happened on the way to the printer.” Funny things indeed. For myself, Colin Powell and the rest of the Bush administration have lost all credibility. Is it any wonder why people don’t vote? It’s impossible to make an informed choice when the candidates are all liars.
