The Inspector General of the Justice Department has found that the department cannot count well and, as a result, does not have an accurate or near-accurate count of actual terrorism cases that have been initiated in the past 5+ years. For example, only two of twenty-six sets of 'terrorism' cases were found to be as reported; others were for marriage fraud, drugs or immigration violations.
The fundamental cause of the errors did not appear to be a pumping up of the numbers (although I suspect some of it was). It was just crappy record-keeping.
