Good News! NYU “Study” Finds There is no Terrorist Threat in America….
This is NYU’s bogus attempt at taking credit away from the Bush administration who’ve prevented a terrorist attack inside America using the Patriot Act. Nice try…
NEW YORK (CNN) – Six years of investigations and prosecutions have turned up little evidence of Islamic jihadists at work in the United States, according to a study released Monday.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the Justice Department said the report "reflects a serious misunderstanding" of anti-terrorism efforts and includes "wildly inaccurate" statistics.
The study found only four people — including confessed al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid — were convicted of planning attacks within the United States.
"The vast majority of cases turn out to include no link to terrorism once they go to court," the report found. The analysis "suggests the presence of few, if any, prevalent terrorist threats currently within the U.S."
The report questioned the usefulness of the anti-terrorist USA Patriot Act, passed after the September 11, 2001, attacks, finding prosecutors relied primarily on previous laws.

Where is the flaw in their argument? Did they cite false facts? Did they commit a logical fallacy?
It sounds like lawyers at work playing their word games. I consider the lunatic fringe incited to action by organized terrorists to still be terrorists.
