Olberman is already telling more about the EIGHT documents...
...than I have heard in any other source. He read several quotes from them which pretty much demonstrates that the decision to go to war was made BEFORE they had a case to do so.

"A real failure of leadership" says his first guest.

How about a FAILURE OF THE MEDIA?!

10. Olbermann tells the truth. Here are two earlier KO VIDEO CLIPS on DSM:
In mid-May, he was one of the few to mention the DSM (there was only one being talked about at the time) on-air:
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/05/16.html#a2974

and here he is later, crushing the GOP spin on Kerry's intitial statement that he would work on the DSM after he returned to Washington DC:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1834390#

By the way, I've always suspected that Keith's admittedly funny idea of selling his Michael Jackson Puppet Theater hand-puppets on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=554&item=7321763671&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
was a kind of protest against being forced to cover this circus-like trial night after night instead of the vital issues facing this country and ignored by the corporate media. The money raised in this auction - $15,099.99 - went to the Celiac Sprue Association, a very personal choice, since he has this disorder.

11. He ends with "maybe more documents to come???"
He's suggesting that there may be others who come forward with more documents exposing the liars and their evil deeds. There are bound to be some unhappy campers who were roped into their amoral schemes and would welcome the opportunity to set the record straight.

12. As I understand it
the more Bush/Blair reject this/lie about this/divert attention away from this, more documents will be leaked.

Fingers crossed.

13. We need a slam dunk smoking gun.
DSMs aren't it. We need doc from the CIA &/or the DOD that prove the case of Bush lying to Congress.

14. True that it would make it clear cut then.
I like the description I read earlier, the minutes are more, "probable cause". I'll take that. Once an investigation is underway, I'd think it would all be uncovered.

15. I think because of Obermann and Stewart
getting so much attention (emails and letters) MSNBC is looking for more liberal shows, I could be wrong, but I think there are some that see a market in us...and money trumps politics...
