Sorry...I am just not buying it

Too convenient...

Just a few days ago, there were news stories on the heels of al Zawahiri's audio tape on how bin Laden had not been heard from in over a year. At the time I thought...uh oh...we're gonna get a tape.

When the tape surfaced, the CIA, contrary to past behavior, verified the the tape immediately.

Cheney immediately asserted that this tape proves that Bush must continue his unwarranted taping of Americans to "protect Americans."

Today the administration released a forty page thesis on why Bush should be allowed to continue domestic wiretaps.

In the meantime, the right wing pundits are falling all over themselves to portray the bin Laden tape as proof that anyone on the left is with bin Laden.

And frankly, his wording, "just a matter of time," just doesn't ring true. It doesn't sound like past tapes.
