XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 28, 2004 17:02:35 ET XXXXX
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.
You are so right! Desperate times calls for desperate measures I guess. Boy, this is really nasty stuff.
I hope to Gopd the FBI has now seized the tape under warrant from ABC and will make the final decisions on what is released pubilicly. The days of running around shocked are over. The people at these networks are often Clinton administration officials, thwey are left wing democrat scum and they will GLADLY see Americans die to advance their agenda. They have done it many times and they aren't going to stop.
And I'm wondering how the Feds found out? Did ABC regret what they did and come clean? Or did the Feds realize that ABC had screwed with the tape? If it's the latter, God help ABC.
The maggots in charge of ABCNNBC BS, NY/LA SLIMES and the rest of the MSM are destroying any credibility they might have with normal/sane Americans.
Let's put us aside for a moment ...
These idiots withheld information from our Intelligence Agency ..
How are they suppose to do their job properly if the media is withholding information ????
Oh, I see, and some were lecturing about how we ought to give ABC the benefit of the doubt.
I want indictments brought against them.
ABC does not have an FCC license. The radio and TV stations owned and operated by ABC -- "O-and-O's" they are called and they are few in number -- could be stripped of their licenses.
RKO Broadcasting lost its licenses 30 years ago because they illegally slipped some money into Nixon's reelection committee. For ABC, the minimum would be loss of licenses.
What I'm talking about is a federal crime under existing national security laws. I'm talking about people doing hard time.
Can you believe this crap? It's like Pravda out there.
I notice that Drudge said he got it from federal sources, which could mean that a whistleblower at ABC tipped off the feds rather than going to Drudge directly.
THIS IS UNSPEAKABLE.
I'M SORRY TO POST IN CAPS, BUT THIS IS BEYOND AN OUTRAGE - THIS IS MALFEASANCE!
. . . rrrrr . . .
WOW! See what happens when you drive home from work in the driving rain. Anybody on the top end Perimeter in A-town might want to wait at work and FReep a while.
Anywho, I guess this trumps Fox News reporting from the AP that the FBI is opening an investigation on Haliburton for no bid contracts.
Somebody explain something to me...
If the CIA has determined that the tape is authentic, then why has the tape (or excerpts, or a transcript) been released to the public.
Is this not a function of our government at this point?
This must be misinformation from the ABC Rats to cover their own tracks.
If it's actually true, ABC will be in a very tough spot to say the least.
ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the CIA, where the alleged terrorist warns about Bush, Cheney, federal sources tell DRUDGE...
This has the potential to be the biggest Drudge scoop since Monica.
THIS IS TREASON!! TREASON!!
These pigs need to be held accountable!
The Christian Science Monitor has viewed the entire video in Pakistan. I expect the video is making the rounds everywhere now.
