Rice changed terrorism report

A state department report which showed an increase in terrorism incidents
around the world in 2004 was altered to strip it of its pessimistic
statistics, it emerged yesterday.
The country-by-country report, Patterns of Global Terrorism, has come out
every year since 1986, accompanied by statistical tables.
This year's edition showed a big increase, from 172 significant terrorist
attacks in 2003 to 655 in 2004.
Much of the increase took place in Iraq, contradicting recent Pentagon
claims that the insurgency there is waning.

Despite the whitewash, we now know that the Bush administration was warned
before the war that its Iraq claims were weak
