New, corrected, Terrorism Report is still... INCORRECT!
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 08:32 AM by LittleApple81
Morning Sedition (AAR): the "corrected" Terrorism Report is INCORRECT!

Citing this fact on "Unfiltered". Apparently, an interviewee during Morning Sedition brought up the fact that some of the Russian terrorism victims were not included in the new, corrected report.

Unfiltered was hilarious!!! For example: Powell is the type of person who you can trick with the "look at what you have on your shirt...then flip the person's nose... he will fall for it every time!"

Statistics gone wild!!!

Using abacuses (pl? of abacus?) with chipped beads???

AAR IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!

1. Saw Powell on the news yesterday spinning this story.
I wish I could remember the exact quote, but it was something like this:

"The report is inaccurate only in that the numbers are off."

I almost fell out of my chair, I was laughing so hard. Just when you think Powell can't go any lower, he reaches new depths.

3. How Much Longer
before Powell tells BushCo. to "take this job and shove it"?

2. How about some details?
This is a common problem here on DU...please don't post such a vaque message, assuming we all know what the hell is going in. If it has already been mentioned on AA, there is no point in us rushing to tune in...so please, what was this about? How are the numbers wrong?

6. i tried to clarify it. They had an interview in Morning Sedition (I think
it was with a political analyst, but I am not sure, since I was not at the computer when I heard it). But he was citing that people killed in terrorist attacks in Russia had not been included in the count.

Sorry if it upset you. But I thought it was important to know that even the corrections are incorrect.

4. does the report still not include Iraq & Afghanistan?
I thought that was part of the problem with the original in that it didn't count terror acts in either place, even though major combat operations are supposedly over in Iraq & we declared victory in Afghanistan (soon followed by the Pres of Afghanistan begging the UN for more security forces)
