Withheld Data Shows 'Dramatic Up-tick' in Terrorist Attacks:

"At a congressional briefing yesterday, Administration officials revealed that the data that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has withheld from this year's Patterns of Global Terrorism report shows a 'dramatic up-tick' in terrorist attacks in 2004. The data presented by State Department and National Counterterrorism Center officials showed that there were approximately 650 significant terrorist attacks throughout the world in 2004, more than triple the 175 attacks reported in 2003, the previous 20-year high."
