NBCNEWS: CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ BEFORE TROOPS ARRIVED...
The NYTIMES urgently reported on Monday in an apprent October Surprise: The Iraqi interim government and the U.N. nuclear agency have warned the United States that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives are now missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations.
[The source behind the NYT story first went to CBSNEWS' 60 MINUTES last Wednesday, but the beleaguered network wasn't able to get the piece on the air as fast as the newspaper could print. Executive producer Jeff Fager hoped to break the story during a high-impact election eve broadcast of 60 MINS on October 31.]

Drudge reports that 60 Minutes wanted to report this garbage on election eve! The BC 04 campaign should be very aggressive on this story tomorrow to help set the record straight.

Why is DAN RATHER not fired? I think he should go to prison for the fraudulent and disgusting things he has done since that forged document story.
There needs to be ACCOUNTABILITY in the media.

They better wise up before Kerry wins this election!Where in the hell is the RNC October surprise!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure they'll try to "stay above it all" as they did with Rather. No reason for them to dirty their hands with this.

Maybe 60minutes should stop with the shopped story stuff. It keeps blowing up in their faces.

If he does, the Pajama People have got to ride on Viacom again, and this time, we will not be turned back!

Well the Swifties have an October Surprise ready for tomorrow. It's on WND, now. They have documents that show direct coordination between Kerry and the North Vietnamese.

Dan Rather must be kicking the NYT typesetters right in the keister. The NYT blew the planned event too soon.

Okay Guys.
Let me ask you this: do you think this is the end from those desperate animals? Trust me, there is more to come and they are going to throw everything they can at us.
Stay alert.
If they do throw something our way as big as this was going to be, send mass e-mails out to the media letting them know the other side.
I thank God for the alternative media that is out there now. Thank you Rush! Thank you Sean! Thank you Drudge! Thank you Laura! Thank you Savage!
