CNN's Ensor: Tape reminds "why US govt has taken such extreme measures."

[DeepModem Mom]

David Ensor, national security correspondent, just now, on-air, re. new Bin Laden tape.

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

1. Were his eyes rolling around after being spun

so quickly?

[DeepModem Mom]

3. I wondered if that had been Ensor's first thought -- or if...

his sources had emphasized it to him.

[KharmaTrain]

7. Like There Is Any Doubt On That One? LOL

I love it how they appear to be "protecting us for our own good" (coughbullshitcough), and that they need to listen sooooo closely to make sure that when he says he's gonna blow us up, there isn't some coded message in there that says he's gonna blow us up.

Surreal

:crazy:

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

2. and Dave's check is now in the mail.

[KittyWampus]

4. It's so obvious

[blm]

5. DNC - Please deal with GOP control of media FIRST , because all else is

for naught.

You can work for months on any issue and the GOP media will have it killed within 12-24 hrs.

[wtmusic]

6. Chicken or the egg?

Or maybe why bin Laden is taking such extreme...oh, nevermind.

[libertypirate]

8. It takes only one line of the news release and it says all I need to hear!

Stupid media whores!

said the speaker on the audio tape, who sounded like bin Laden.

If it's OBL then why do they tell us it sounded like him?

This is reinforcing logic that asserts more then it proves.

Why would they need to assert more truth to this story then actually exists?

[DeepModem Mom]

11. Actually, CNN's Nic Robertson has repeatedly said...

that the tape has not yet been authenticated.

[zbdent]

16. "who sounded like bin Laden" - apparently

Rich Little is a paid propagandist . . .

[rodeodance]

9. recall that the Senate is to vote on the new PA soon also. DaMN

[rucky]

10. Extreme measures to do what? Catch him? Naw.

Just extreme measures for fun and profit.

[DeepModem Mom]

13. Very good point. This reminds us that bin Laden is still at large...

if alive. We have not "hunted him down."

[Lyle]

12. How nice of CNN to give the George an "Osam Reach Around"

If they are pulling this Osama crap again, it must be to distract attention from something else....wonder what type of poop is about to hit the GOP fan??

[Tamarin]

14. They are trying to justify the illegal wiretaps. nt

[Straight Shooter]

20. They are also trying to justify Alito and his position of unlimited power

bush is tanking in the polls, too, a gradual slide into the abyss. Rove is in trouble. Frist is in trouble. Abramoff is an albatross around the GOP's neck.

They're playing the only card they have: fear.

[Windy]

15. He is SUCH a tool... n/t

[f-bush]

17. What a bunch of crap.

Typical, just when it looks like the bush admin is sinking into a hole about their illegal actions over this war, they trot out a little gem like this to raise the panic level.

We have two problems with this a) three quarters of the American people are a bunch of lemmings who don't think and are more than willing to fall over a "civil rights cliff" over this in the name of security and

b) we have a bunch of corporate media whores who feed this blather to the American public which is also unwilling to dig deeper than a 3 second sound bite and think for themselves!!!!

18. David Ensor: Whiny Ass Titty Baby

Go ahead and crawl under your desk, curl up in a fetal position and clutch your wubby if it makes you feel better, Mr. Ensor. Those of us who are still grown-ups aren't a-skeert of an unauthenticated piece of tape, as you are. And we don't need to be "protected" against pieces of tape, at least not so badly that we'll give up the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution. If you need a big, strong man to defend you, may I refer you to the Soviet Union under Stalin? I'm sure you'd feel right at home, broadcasting on Pravda or writing for Izvestia.

In the meantime, get off my TV screen and go piss your pants somewhere else, you coward.

19. So quick to use Osama as their Moral Compass

It always points the same way as Bush...
