State Department wrong in reporting terror down

Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 09:40 PM by judgegina

Instead, both the number of incidents and the toll in victims increased sharply, the department said.

2. I'm shocked CNN reported it.

And in fact I just heard Aaron Brown comment on the errancy of the report.

I wonder if some of these folks are starting to get tired of shilling for the bushistas.

Not only CNN, but the NYWTimes is carying the story.
