As usual, non Prof John is advancing a phony argument.

The point being, PJ is entitled to his own opinions but not his own facts.

As soon as we all realize that terrorism over all is up and not down, all conclusion flowing from a bad premise are also fatally flawed.
The argument comes from NewsWeek.

Perhaps you should send them a letter, idiot.

You are the one using the article to push your agenda.

The killings in Rwanda, Dufar and Iraq are all nearly identical in nature, but only Iraq is counted as terrorism, why?

You would prefer the killings in Iraq be counted as genocide ? Like they are in Rwanda and Dafur?

The point is PJ, rational people question all sources, in this case I do not think Newsweek is credible, and you are about the only one who thinks that one single Newsweek article should be considered as gospel truth.

Its still called cherry picking sources, one can always find a set of sources that agree on any position, but when those cheery picked sources don't square with a large amount of other conclusions, one has to discount the cherry picked as dubious at best. Somehow, I think our own NIE is far more accurate.
