Keith Olberman on Rumsfeld

This is something that should be seen by every American, no matter what your politics. It is profound and moving. You'll see it up at other sites, I am sure (I saw it at Tom Tomorrow), but it needs to be seen by as many people as possible. Check it out: A little excerpt:

The confusion is about whether this Secretary of Defense, and this administration, are in fact now accomplishing what they claim the terrorists seek: The destruction of our freedoms, the very ones for which the same veterans Mr. Rumsfeld addressed yesterday in Salt Lake City, so valiantly fought.

And about Mr. Rumsfeld's other main assertion, that this country faces a "new type of fascism."

As he was correct to remind us how a government that knew everything could get everything wrong, so too was he right when he said that -- though probably not in the way he thought he meant it.

This country faces a new type of fascism - indeed.
Thank you, Keith, for calling a spade a spade!
