Seems some leaders have not understood the importance of Internet.
Earlier it was possible to flood the media with propaganda for a suitable time, plan the releases much more carefully than a regular daily soap to always start something new before the old was done with.
Then, calmly rewrite history after 0.5-1-2 years, only danger the declassification some 30 years later.
However, now the propaganda of yesterday and last week is not carried out with the garbage, but sits on Internet.
Same thing with all those funny soundbites, so carefully designed into every speach, C-SPAN carries them for months and actually much longer (largest and longest archive of any TV-media in the world, and it is even indexed, although not for the masses, yet)
Blair and Bush, and unluckily lately also Powell, seem to be building up some real credibility problems in terms of the media-archives of today, for the future.

No need wait as long as for this anymore (considering that LBJ still got Civil Rights forward,etc)
c-span.org c-span.org c-span.org
Hmm, where did C-SPAn put those historical State of the Union Speeches...
