Keith Olbermann Quotes
As I tried to emphasize in the commentary, hindsight plus the logical fallacy can be a dangerous combination.

And obviously, there are lists that are longer that have been compiled elsewhere that are based on different criteria and are of different merit. But can you look at that list of 10 juxtapositions and say that, in your heart, you're comfortable that not once were political considerations a factor in any of the counterterrorism statements or actions of the government?
