War on Terror!

If you weren't feeling safer yet, too bad.
Headline:
Bush administration eliminating 19-year-old international terrorism report

Why would the State department want to eliminate a report that tells us if we are indeed safer today than we were when Bush & Co. first got into office?

Lede:
The State Department decided to stop publishing an annual report on international terrorism after the government's top terrorism center concluded that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985, the first year the publication covered.


Oh.

There has got to be a point where President Bush can stop saying things like "We are safer -- we are safer and the world is better off because Saddam is sitting in a prison cell."
