How handy!

Consider the timing of the latest "CIA-confirmed" audio from bin Laden. Pretty much fits the pattern, doesn't it? After all, the Bushies have more on their plate now than ever before, most recently defending torture and eavesdropping without court authority as "allowed because we are at war." And, by the way, just to remind you that we are "at war," here's good ol' Osama to scare you into compliance with your Leaders.

Sometimes I wonder.

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there's no one after you!"

UPDATE: Eleanor Clift, on The McLaughlin Group on January 22, reminded us of the tape that surfaced the weekend prior to the 2004 elections . . . case in point!
