The State Department released its annual report on global terrorism in April. Now after much criticism about notable omissions of deadly terrorist attacks, a revised version is expected to be released. The report's original conclusion said that the year 2003 represented the lowest number of terrorist attacks since 1969. After a congressman complained, the State Department said it would correct the error and issue a new report.

Jonathan Karl, reporting from the G8 Summit in southeastern Georgia, has the story tonight about the State Department's misrepresentation of key terrorism information.

It is the first formal step in an effort to punish athletes without a positive drug test and solely based on documents such as e-mails and charts indicating the athletes used drugs.
