jaunthieGo read Keith Olbermann's scathing commentary on Michael Chertoff's "gut feeling" that "Al-Qaeda will attack the US this summer" gaffe. A sampling:
"Once, we thought we were tiptoeing along a Grand Canyon of possible and actual freedoms and civil liberties destroyed, as part of some kind of nauseating but ultimately necessary and intricately designed plan to stop future 9/11s or even future Glasgow car bombers who wind up having to get out and push their failed weapons.
Now it turns out we are risking all of our rights and protections — and risking the anger and hatred of the rest of the world — for the sake of Michael Chertoff’s gut."
You can read the whole thing here. You can even choose to watch the video segment of Olbermann delivering his commentary himself. It's a truly impressive exercise.
