60 Minutes bombshell on Karl Rove tonight. MSNBC and AP ask if Obama is "exposed" as a "domestic insurgent." The U.S. continues to establish permanent bases in virtually every Middle Eastern country.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-02-24]

  • Back in the USSR

    So the Siegelman story was a victim of "technical difficulties," a flagrant lie CBS has already debunked. And here we were worrying that the Oscars might render the long-delayed 60 minutes piece irrelevant. Never underestimate the authoritarian "itch" of Bush-serving corporations to shoot themselves in the foot.

    Am I lapsing into self-delusion to think that there is an unavoidably LARGE news story here? Could the M$M really be so lame as to ignore such a travesty, the likes of which we used to condemn tinpot dictators for? I mean, before we got our own?

    Could Rove et al have done anything more to confirm people's worst fears than actually having its political cronies tramsmit black screens and propaganda instead of the segment, which they were already attempting to discredit by the usual ad hominem means?

    I suppose they could have sent Halliburton and Blackwater thugs out to individually shoot out people's television screens.....

    Desperate times call for desperate measures, and all.

    I'm pouring myself a cool something to go with the gloating.
