A quiet congratulations to Keith Olbermann for blowing up the fake number
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 09:11 PM by sfexpat2000
of "60 detainees returned to combat" meme tonight at about 00:51 minutes into his show. He cited the Seton Hall Law School study and called out the number for what it is, made up propaganda. I'm sorry he didn't finger Cheney's office more directly because that's where it came from. But, nevertheless, thank you, Keith!

If anyone has or can get this clip, it's worth seeing. He put it right out there.

2. I only wish he'd show Tweety a copy
He keeps repeating that crap. KO mentioned it before.
Brezinski might also tear Joe Scum a new one tomorrow morning. He's sure laying out the differences on Rachel.

7. I emailed Countdown, Greenwald and other folks on 1/13 when
the last Cheney press release came out. Apparently, Rachel did something on this last week but I missed it. Keith nailed it tonight. :)

9. He talked about this a fews days ago, too
I was surprised to see that meme resurface after he had so clearly refuted it just days ago.

But good on Keith to keep up with them and never give up

10. Cheney put out a press release 1/13. And the pressitutes spread it around like icing
on a litter box.

Cheney et al have to keep selling that the detainees are dangerous or else, these people might get loose enough to see a lawyer and sue the hell out of Cheney/Rumsfeld.
