ABOUT THE NEWS HOLE

It's the new award-winning blog* from the cast and crew of the award-winning television news hour** "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

We heard about this whole "blogosphere" business from Tom DeLay, and came to the immediate realization that we too, "needed to become involved" in it.

So here it is. Covering the big news, the small news, medium-sized and irregular, The News Hole strives to bring everything you love or hate about Countdown to the internets.

Your feedback and hate mail is encouraged.

Since Gerald Posner brought it up...

This was going to be in tomorrow's Countdown Supplemental but since Gerald Posner brought it up on tonight's show, here it is. If you're interested in following up on his recommendation of looking at the Maryland records of Bruce Ivins' therapist, Jean C. Duley, you have to start here and then put her name in the subsequent search (don't worry about the other fields).

Keith, get this guy on your show!  He says Ivins couldn't have been the killer.

Moderator,
If you keep updating at this neck-breaking pace, you're gonna have to ask for a raise. You're leaving all the other websites in the dust.

The anthrax attacks were responsible for Congress passing the Patriot Act before they even read it!  The Daschle & Leahy anthrax letters got the message across to Congress quick!  Why doesn't Keith report on Project for the New American Century?  Their 2000 report made it clear they would go after Iraq regardless -- it also advised U.S.development of biochemical weapons would be "politically useful". I went back and reread PNAC's "Rebuilding America's Defenses" after McClellan's book sounded so despondent that the Administration didn't get enough good press about work regarding the anthrax attacks.  Mainstream media has totally ignored PNAC (Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, etc.) and their plans before Bush even took office!

Keith, why don't you point that "investigative journalist" Posner in the direction of Dr. Zack who did oversee Ivins and who was caught on video tape entering the building in which he had been fired for harassment of a Muslim co-worker. But of course you know this and of course you won't print this.

Is there any way I can get a printed transcript of the discussion between Keith and Posner last night?  We have to convince the Americans that this opportunistic administration is over-eager to close the books on all of its blunders while never really addressing the issues.

Thank you.
