Bush administration eliminating 19-year-old international terrorism report

Why is it that republicans always find it necessary to change the rules when they don't like how the game is playing out? Tom DeLay found to be the most unethical bastard in Congress? Change the ethics rules. Bush not getting 100% of his ultra right-wing judges confirmed? Try to eliminate the fillibuster. Terrorism increases during your tenure? Just stop publishing the report.

Thank you Secretary Rice

WASHINGTON - 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. "

"According to Johnson and U.S. intelligence officials familiar with the issue, statistics that the National Counterterrorism Center provided to the State Department reported 625 "significant" terrorist attacks in 2004.

That compared with 175 such incidents in 2003, the highest number in two decades."

Here's a list from David Sirota's blog with a few reports that have been stopped, since Bush took office.
