Heads Up tonight --The Nexus of Politics and Terror --Countdown

[marions ghost]

Tuesday Night 10/11: a postmortem on this latest terror threat aired, which officials at Homeland Security had said was of doubtful credibility. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said police would be "slowly winding down" the intensity of subway patrols, after the target date cited in a federal warning about a possible terrorist attack passed without incident.

And on Wednesday Night 10/12, Keith takes a closer look at the nexus of politics and terror...
"...we spoke of at least thirteen coincidences of timing, between bad political news for the government, and a terror or terror-related event... We will be presenting a special report detailing those coincidences on Wednesday night's edition (MSNBC 8 pm and midnight ET)."

Excerpt from Tuesday Night transcript:

OLBERMANN: If somebody somewhere can just make up a story about a threat, and as long as he gives names and dates and has some sort of track record, even batting 50 percent here, he can wind up changing how 8 million people live their lives for four days. What do we do to keep the concept of a local terror warning from turning into the equivalent of the time-honored phony phoned-in bomb threat?

KOHLMANN: Well, I think first of all, we‘re going to want to balance the independence that New York has been given, in terms of developing its own independent counterterrorism program, with a closer relationship with federal agencies that are really responsible for disseminating this information. There must be a relationship of trust and understanding between New York authorities, the DHS, and the FBI. There cannot be this public infighting, because if there‘s this kind of infighting in a public atmosphere, imagine what‘s going on behind the scenes. That‘s really disturbing.

OLBERMANN: "...touching on the New York mistake from last week, a reminder that tomorrow night during COUNTDOWN, we‘ll be bringing you a special report, the Nexus of Politics and Terror, those occasions in the last three and a half years when bad news for the administration has been followed by a terror warning or other terror event, tomorrow night on COUNTDOWN at 8:00 p.m. and midnight Eastern.
