Another Fine Example of Leadershit

George W. Bush -- the man who claims to be U.S. President -- has spent a great deal of time lately patting himself on the back for having such an "open government". According to him, there are no attempts to "fool" or hide information from the American populace.

What a bunch of unmitigated baloney! Just yesterday it was reported that the Bush Administration has decided not to publish the annual report on global terrorism. This report has, up until now, been published EVERY year since 1986.

So why has the Bush Administration decided to quash this report? Because they don't like the results!

While Bush has been bragging that his administration has made great strides in defusing and defeating terrorism worldwide, this government report was set to announce that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since the report was first commissioned.

Of course, Team Bush must have realized that such statistics would easily torpedo all of their pompous bravado. Since there really isn't any way that they could spin the information to their advantage, the have decided to bury it.

So much for open government!
