Terrorism not declining...

[Zeno]

There is no way to accurately measure terrorism or terrorist attacks, just as there is no way to accurately measure 'hate crime' or other such nebulous concepts that can have a sliding scale or different definitions depending on the politics or particular hatreds of the hour. Were the authorities in charge of the Spanish Inquisition terrorists? The people involved in St. Bartholomew’s massacre? Let's all do some deconstruction or reconstruction or reinventing or whatever suits our fancy to make the most political points for the day.

If there isn't a way to accurately measure terrorist attacks then the white house shouldn't be making claims that the number of terrorist attacks are declining world wide as a result of their policies.
