War on Terror Update

Via email:
Newsbusters reports that the media has been misreporting the recently released Country Reports on Terrorism. While it does show increased terrorism activity in the Middle East – there’s a war on, you know – it actually shows two other things that the media has ignored:
Other than the Mid-East, “the number of terrorist attacks worldwide is down from a year ago by over 300 incidents”.

“[T]errorism in South Asia is down by 10 percent from a year ago. In Europe , it's down 18 percent. In Central and South America , terrorism-related deaths are down 54 percent.”
Isn't that something?
