Could Rove Have Manipulated the Timing of the OBL Tape?
I mean Holy Bedsheets, Batman, it's just too bizarre.

Could he have, would he have, what do we know so far?

If Rove was in ANY WAY involved in the timing of that tape's release, I want him tried for treason.

Would they? Could they?

11. Is there any reporting on the chain of custody of this tape?
Do we have any foreign stories on it, on the timing?

3. Of course
The funny part is that hardly anyone is afraid of their boggy man anymore. It's almost a joke at this point.

Just like Mission Accomplished and the plastic turkey, it seems Rove just can't do anything right since he moved into the WH.

4. Tell me for what purpose? Why draw continued attention to the fact...
...that the NeoCons have failed to capture or kill OBL?

6. Because they have done studies that show that when you invoke terror
it gives Bush a boost.

It's irrational, it makes no sense at all, but it's proven fact. His rating rise when they raise the terra lert.

5. Could be -- didn't OBL start the tape as if it was released
closer to 9/11 -- anniversary?

If the CIA/WH has had the tape since September -- or even early October -- not too far a stretch to imagine that Rove manipulated the timing release.

9. IMO
no manipulation, otherwise why put the tape out on a friday afternoon?

the saturday paper is not widely read as a general rule, many of the sunday morning shows (meet the press, etc) are taped before then.

if the tape was manipulated to help bush it would have come out like wed or thurs to have the greatest impact possible in the papers.

sides it also reminds many people that osama is still out there and bush failed to capture him

7. Rove controls your mind.
The curtain is being pulled, but believe
in the Wizard as long as you like.

12. That's what Walter Cronkite thinks
Cronkite: Bush working with bin Laden
Says he thinks Rove set up videotape terror threat
