Diversion tactic
To the editor:
MSNBC’s cable news-reporter Keith Olbermann, on his show “Countdown” (performing the lost art of investigative journalism), noted suspicious coincidences of 10 “terror alerts” following within 24-48 hours of public revelations of politically embarrassing, or criminally suspicious activities by the Bush administration. In each of these 10 occurrences, the American public’s attention was successfully diverted. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me ten times?
