Secret audiotapes of Saddam Hussein discussing ways to attack America with weapons of mass destruction will be the subject of an ABC "Nightline" program Wednesday night, a former federal prosecutor told Cybercast News Service.
The tapes are being called the "smoking gun" of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq. The New York Sun reported that the tapes have been authenticated and currently are being reviewed by the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The panel's chairman, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), declined to give the Sun details of the content or context of the recordings, saying only that they were provided to his committee by former federal prosecutor John Loftus.
Loftus has been tight-lipped about the tapes, telling the Sun only that he received them from a "former American military intelligence analyst."
On Tuesday night, Loftus told Cybercast News Service that ABC's "Nightline" would air an "extensive report" on the tapes Wednesday night. Loftus also described an ABC News "teaser," which reportedly contains audio of Saddam Hussein discussing ways to attack America with WMD. "Nightline will have a lot more," said Loftus.
This year's Intelligence Summit will bring together top terrorism experts including Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of "Funding Evil," 9/11 investigator Jean-Charles Brisard, author of "Zarqawi: the New Face of Al-Qaeda;" former CIA agent Michael Scheurer, author of "Imperial Hubris," and Richard Marcinko, former head of SEAL Team Six, and author of "Rogue Warrior."
The Intelligence Summit will be featured not only in the Wednesday Nightline report but also on ABC World News Tonight.

So when does Nightline come on? I tuned in to ABC, and they're showing Sex and the City.

ABC is trashing Cheny and Bush!

I guess they are having it....but, it can't be a very "in depth" look...since it will probably get all of about 8 minutes...sigh
They made sure they had Rollins there to trash it. Couldn't dare do a straight NON BIASED story.
Are you surprised? I'm not! We need internment camps for MSM reporters. And that goes for you too Shep!
Interest ping?
I cannot allow myself to get revved up tonight. I need SLEEP and the Saddam stuff better not make me mad...lol.
What's incredible is that our MSM is trying to protect Saddam Hussein while simultaneously trying to bring down the Vice-President during a time of war over weapons.
-PJ
They didn't mention John Loftus' name...hmmmmmm.
Gracias! Brian Ross .. known arrogant defender of "no WMD??" How's he gonna backtrack on this? Somethings' up.
And while algore does his spewing in Saudi Arabia as the paid speaker by the bin-laden family.
