Less Safe?!?!?

I thought we were really taking the war to the terrorist and that was making us safe. Then the State dept. had to revise its number of terrorist events and shockingly it went from the least number of terrorist events in 30 years to the highest number. Finally the majority of people in this country have stopped believing the administrations lie and have figured out that this war has made us much less safe. Bob Herbert in the NYT has a great column on this point.
