good timing: keith olberman

the following two videos are regarding the bush administration's amazing timing when it comes to damage control. the first video is a quick discussion about bush's admission that the secret prison camps for terrorists did exist, and the convenient release of the new, or old - however you see it - tape of osama bin laden having a sort of training session with some of the 9/11 hijackers.



this second video is from a year ago, with keith olbermann and the folks at countdown debunking bush's fear tactics in "the nexus of politics and terror.' this is a bit long, but detailed video clip, which makes you go "hmmm..." basic premise: if something happens that presents the government in a negative light, the administration uses fear to regain control of the media message. it was interesting a year ago, it's more interesting now.
