TERROR TAPE WARN OF BUSH, CHENEY CONSEQUENCE; ABC WITHHELD PORTIONS FROM CIA

**Exclusive**

ABCNEWS withheld portions of an alarming new al Qaeda videotape which warns the next terror attack will dwarf 9/11 from the CIA when they submitted the video for analysis, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

The CIA and FBI late Wednesday authenticated the tape, federal sources tell DRUDGE. ABCNEWS has been informed of the government's standing.

"What took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America and that our Lord willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about September 11," the man, whose face is covered by a headdress, warns in the video. "After decades of American tyranny, now it's your turn to die."

ABCNEWS submitted portions of the video threat to the FBI and CIA on Monday for analysis, top government sources tell DRUDGE, after obtaining the tape from a source in Pakistan.

A top goverment source said from Washington that ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the CIA -- the portion of the tape where the man warns of retribution for Americans electing Bush and Cheney.

"You are guilty, guilty, guilty.  You're as guilty as Bush and Cheney.  You're as guilty as Rumsfeld and Ashcroft and Powell...," the man states.

He goes on to warn of an upcoming horror: "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead.

"People of America, that was the verdict now for the sentencing: as participants and partners in the crimes of the regime, you too shall pay the price for the blood that has been spilled."

One ABC source, who demanded anonymity, said Thursday morning, the network was struggling to find a correct journalistic "balance" before airing any story on the video.

"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," the ABC source explained.

Breaking: Mark Levin says ABC will be running the Terror Tape.

I saw it on Fox with Brit. This is definitely an American male. Covered in his black and white tablecloth.

It's too late, and would be seen as a desparate attempt, considering all this crap that has happened.

[jacquej]

Alas, do not know if this is accurate info, but read somewhere that the cable companies can tell what channels you are tuned into.

If that is bad info, please set me straight.

[outofhere2]

Either way if this is a Dem set up which I don't believe it is, it would be just another reason among many not to vote for them.

Quite frankly your posts are not credible any longer. You've been flapping your mouth about "secrets" to be revealed by Bush and nothing happened but some lame story about explosives being spirited out of Iraq. No one is paying attention to that story. Just how was that supposed to help Bush? It is being ignored.

You've been making cryptic comments for weeks about something coming up and all we have gotten is crap from the Washington Times that the MSM couldn't care less about.

Here is a partial list of some of the things you have said:

1. When 'mabelkitty' pinged the "Nuclear Weapons Found In Iraq" story (from 7/21/04) the other day you stated "getting warmer...". When 'airborne' pinged you to the thread you stated "Uh huh. No comment;)"

2. When the rumor about there being a video of Kerry burning the flag came up, your response was "Hush", as if to keep him from giving away a secret.

3. When asked on another thread regarding Bush's speech in NJ if that was the beginning of the 'bad week' you had promised, you stated that "this is nothing compared to what is coming".

4. When a poster asked the other day when Bush was going to respond to the explosives issue you stated "Because the larger the weapon, the longer it takes to load. Be patient"

I've been lurking here for the past month trying to get an idea of what has been going on in the election. You have consistently given the impression you have sources. I felt the need to respond today. Quite frankly I not only think you have a tin foil hat, I think you have an entire tin foil suit. Please stop raising people's hopes just so you can feel important.

Now, now Bruce Springstein wouldn't like this.

Bruce will NEVER get another dime from me. I have already thrown his CD's in the TRASH! He's another SCREAMER.

Savage is on kfi later

The day after the election, after the damage has been done, the guy says he was lying and Bush wasn't behind it, but Kerry's elected. The guy, in effect, falls on the sword to get Kerry elected.

I don't think they can pull that off what with the CIA involved. I may be wrong, but too many big wigs involved in this now. They can't ALL be against the President. Surely.

[numberonepal]

Eastcoasters, turn on ABC now. It's on.

I've still got local news at 18:39????

[netmilsmom]

You are darling!

[TFine80]

ABC is just running a bunch of biased CRAP...

I guess they had to turn up the bias b/c of the tape tonight, and they know everyone is watching....

JERKS.

I always thought so. Even without the Nelson Box. (?)

Something to do with band width? Anyway, that's why I switched channels when Fox put on FnKerry.

Do you mean this article?

"Unless you can identify the individual or compare [it] to known samples, it is difficult to authenticate," says a US intelligence official. "There's no information in the intelligence community that links this video to a specific threat. So what [the speaker] is talking about doesn't appear in other intelligence."

Nevertheless, it's become easier and cheaper to produce a relatively sophisticated video. With about $3,500, one can purchase a small digital video camera and a laptop with video editing software, and create output, which as Kohlmann puts it, is worthy of "a half-decent Hollywood studio."

"Terrorist wannabes [have] manufactured an encyclopedia full of fraudulent threats and communiques on the Internet," says Kohlmann. "It is now getting easy enough that similar wannabes can produce their own jihad videos too."

I have my doubts its a real threat, I still think its a politically motivated ploy by a terrorist(s), and then abc decided since they had possesion of the tape they might as well carry the ball so to speak.

I'm torn, but Hewitt's on delay on ksky later, so I'll listen then!

Either way if this is a Dem set up which I don't believe it is, it would be just another reason among many not to vote for them.

The Rats have really come unglued this year. It's like they are possessed.

Not many people even talk politics up my way anymore. Everyone is afraid to open their mouths.

Bruce in my mind is like Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Brad Pitt, Barbara Striesand, Whoopi Goldberg, P. Diddy, The Dixie Chicks, that Garofalo thing, Danny Glover, Al Sharpton, and I invite others to name the rest of the celebrity nuts telling us we have nothing to fear from the terrorists if we just build coalitions with the trusting French and Germans and UN.

You are really observant. Thank you for pointing this out.

[offduty]

Just reported on Fox News....terrorists claim they have the missing explosives and are intent to use them against coalition forces.

[Nathan Zachary]
