1. Why not? She tried to show them to CNN? I am starting to
wonder if this whole Keith attacks Bev thing is part of the plan. Could it be that this is an orchestrated event? That, now, after the "F" words has been used on the KO show, Bev has an engraved invitation to come on the show? Ya think? It's as if Keith were trying to help her out here. In some strange way. I wonder? Just a thought. I have expressed my criticism on other threads about Bev and BBV, though I am a fan and I am grateful for their work. I just started to wonder if this is, a turning of the tables strategy. A masterplan of media coverage. Hmm? DK - don't know.

7. Before you were posting that she shouldn't show the evidence in a court
case and she should only show it to the Florida Supreme Court

now you're saying she's scared?

what's your agenda here?

4. Time will tell.

KO doesn't own the network, he is an employee. And the owners are GE, making big bucks off the war machine and they have %100 control of his content if they want to.

So I had in mind that KO may be being used for a "Keep your enemies closer" type of approach. Cons always try to get out in front of all intetia and thus have a hand in steering it when they need to.

I also guess that perhaps someone wants to make Michal Moore size money off that tape some day; perhaps even at the expense of democracy. Odds are that it is the property of the volunteer film crew and Bev man not
necessarily be in control of it.

But I'd really be interested in hearing the truth about the invitation - is it true and she has turned it down? or is it a red herring planted by KO's blog

5. I've had similar notions.
I think KO is legit in his coverage but I've no doubt he's on a leash, just a little longer one that most newsies. I think the primary reason he's being given the rope is so that the ruling class can go "See there was no media lockdown. There's no conspiracy. There's just no story." As long as its contained to one show on one channel whats the big deal. Secondly its like a safety valve that keeps to much pressure from building up on the story.

8. She says she hasn't been asked.
Who knows if it's true, but that's what she says in the latest update on the BBV web site.

There could also been some reason why she thinks releasing the information could hurt her lawsuit against Volusia County.

Hopefully Keith and Bev can just chalk it up to a misunderstanding and they can work together to get the info out.

9. I'll believe Bev, because she's the one with her feet on the ground
and keith is on a office somewhere.

why didn't he use his vacation to go to florida and see what bev was doing? he didn't.

so he stands behind the line, and criticizes the ones in the front.

sorry, but he doesn't have that right.
