why do i allege that we can't win this 'war on terrorism'? because this 'war' is a fraud. a fraud is perpetrated when you sell something that isn't what you say it is. and now that we understand that nobody really has a grasp on what 'terrorism' really is, how can it be disputed that we are fighting an unknown enemy. and when you fight an unknown enemy, there is no way in hell you can win. from the

WASHINGTON — Five months after embarrassed State Department officials acknowledged widespread mistakes in the government's influential annual report on global terrorism, internal investigators have found new and unrelated errors — as well as broader underlying problems that they say essentially have destroyed the credibility of the statistics the report is based on.

In a 28-page report, the State Department's Office of Inspector General blamed the problems on sloppy data collection, inexperienced employees, personnel shortages and lax oversight. Investigators also concluded that the procedures used by the State Department, CIA and other agencies to define terrorism and terrorist attacks were so inconsistent that they couldn't be relied upon.
