So Condi considered 'POSTPONING' report on global terrorism?


http://www2.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2007_04/011206.php

TERRORISM UPDATE....This year's report on global terrorism will show a 25% increase in terror attacks between 2005 and 2006, "almost all of it due to incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan" according to McClatchy. Then there's this:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her top aides had considered postponing or downplaying the release of this year's edition, due to the extreme political sensitivities, several officials said. But ultimately, they decided to issue the report on or about the congressionally mandated deadline of Tuesday, the officials said.

Say what? They considered postponing a congressionally mandated report because it might be inconvenient for the president's war policy? Is there some kind of "political sensitivities" exemption in the law?

1. Since when do they give a damn about

what's in the law. Or any law.

2. Terror attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Weren't all of those "war" related? And weren't they uprisings against the liberators?
