That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that it's mighty convenient that a tape comes along anytime Bush needs a boost.
I believe these tapes don't get air time unless our gov't gives the media the okay to air it.

So the government can prevent the media from telling us about the new bin Laden tape playing on Al Jazeera but can't prevent the media from telling us about anything else?

The government has an interesting combination of omnipotence and impotence.
