Bush Terror: Cookin' the numbers:

There's a new nonfiction book just out. The topic is bullshit. And that's what BushCo continues to try and feed us. Lots of it, and continually. Always doing his best to "catapult the propaganda".

On Thursday, President Bush stepped to a lectern at the Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy in Columbus to urge renewal of the USA Patriot Act and to boast of the government's success in prosecuting terrorists.
Flanked by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, Bush said that "federal terrorism investigations have resulted in charges against more than 400 suspects, and more than half of those charged have been convicted."
Those statistics have been used repeatedly by Bush and other administration officials, including Gonzales and his predecessor, John D. Ashcroft, to characterize the government's efforts against terrorism.

Wrap...
