Maddow Calls Bush Library’s ‘DECISION POINTS’ Game ‘A NATIONAL SCANDAL’

[Overseas]

31. I completely agree. Students should only be taken there to see Attempts to Rewrite History

It should only be as a demonstration of the ways in which people seek to distort reality. Students should be given some documentary footage to take with them about what was actually going on and then they can learn more about how wealthy right wing radicals try to rewrite history.

I was amazed by Melissa Harris-Perry's expose on the Decision Points' Hurricane Katrina section in which W's big decision was apparently What to do about Looters and Lawlessness !! So outrageous and racist.

Why not highlight the earlier Decision Point-- whether to appoint your best buddy the horse trainer to lead the Federal Emergency Management Authority of the United States of America or choose someone with actual experience in managing emergencies. Or the other one about Whether to go to John McCain's birthday party or visit the disaster area.

And if the library really wants to highlight Decision Points -- Why not start with Election 2000 ? And why not make itself more newsworthy with an update on how Sandra Day O'Connor now feels about her Year 2000 Decision Point?

And then go on to the Bush administration's decision to tell the national intelligence teams obsessed with Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda to chill out and focus on reasons we should invade Iraq instead.

And the Bush administration's decision to ignore the August 6th PDB, and all the other warnings that summer.

And gosh, how about a Decision Points section about follow the Nuremberg Principles or Torture? Hmmm...
