Powell: Terror report was 'wrong'

Denying that the Bush administration was trying "to cook the books," Secretary of State Colin Powell Sunday called a recently released annual State Department report asserting a decline in terrorism last year "a very big mistake" and "very embarrassing."

Powell said officials at the CIA, where a new terrorist threat information center helped compile the data, and other agencies were required to work over the weekend to determine how the faulty data ended up in the report. He said a meeting is set for Monday to get to the bottom of the inaccuracy and that he plans to issue a corrected report as soon as possible.
