Was the ABC Video intended for release AFTER A BUSH WIN?
Self | 10/28/2004 | Self

Posted on 10/28/2004 1:28:03 PM PDT by KansasConservative1

We have all heard about the video that ABC is holding on to. The rumor has a line similar to "since you elected Bush, terror will rain down... blah blah blah." When I first heard the report, I thought that it was refering to the first election...

What if this was intended to be played after the election IF BUSH WINS. i.e. Now look what you have done.

If that is the case, then ABC news is the delivery agent for this terrorist message (either willingly or unwillingly)

If any terrorism occurs in the next little while, ABC will have aided and abetted. Disney will no longer exist.

The medias bias is shining through strong this year, probably more so than in recent memory.

You may have nailed it on the head.

Agreed about the bias. What if it has gone too far and become the conduit for terrorists. In the name of freedom of press.

I think maybe it was the forged documents that did it.

Would this not be one possible explaination for their reluctance to show the video.

Heard something about that too.
Not sure what to think of it other than the fact that the terrorists were attacking us during the Clinton administration long before Dubya was Pres.
And threatening to attack us should Dubya win a second term because he supposedly attacked Islam is a fallacy on their part since they attacked us first on 9/11.
Anyone who listens to the terrorists and votes for Kerry in hopes of staving off a terror attack is a moron just due to the above factoid.
Basically put, the muslims are screaming, "How DARE you defend yourselves after we attack you!"

/ idle thoughts.

No, they were going to play the video on Monday, after the news from 60 Minutes about the missing weapons had played the previous night.

What a lot of folks are not aware of, is that ABC did not give the video to the CIA for authentication, the CIA took it from them, after being notified by the same folks who told Drudge. ABC was not going to tell anyone about it, which is why they tried to authenticate the video on their own.

Good observation--I don't think ABC held it because they want to use it after the election to hurt Bush (why would they turn it over to the CIA in that case?) but I think it's a good point about the AQ intent.

Either way, ABC is in the stuff this time. No matter what happens, people will look at ABC with suspicion. It's not one of those things that makes sense, but it's jsut a case of "You had this info and didn't put it out when you could have."

I dunno, I remember in the beginning when all the "threat" tapes started coming out all the news agencies were airing them without thought to consequence even though many people were concerned that there may be hidden messages for sleeper cells in those tapes. I highly doubt that is the case here.

I asked this on an earlier thread. It's about as sinister as it gets; but I wouldn't be surprised if Al Qaeda intended for it to be played immediately after a Bush victory. I would love to know who ABC's contacts are that got them this tape, and what THEY know about it.

I don't think I get what you are saying.
Are you saying ABC is helping Bush get elected?
No way.
I would think that ABC would be flashing this everywhere so people (sheeple) would vote Kerry to prevent it.

I disagree. I think they want to punish Bush for "destroying the Taliban" and making "war on Al-Qeida" regardless of the timing of Bush's presidency. By the way, didn't Spain just have a terrorist attempt interupted? They planned on blowing up their national court. I thought they were supposed to leave Spain alone?

Interesting concept. It is shocking that an major media outlet would allow their newsroom agenda to trump the safety and security of the American people. Shameful.

from Drudge just now....

ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the CIA, where the alleged terrorist warns about Bush, Cheney, federal sources tell DRUDGE... MORE
