XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED OCT 27, 2004 12:42:01 ET XXXXX
ABCNEWS HOLDS TERROR WARNING TAPE
**Exclusive**
In the last week before the election, ABCNEWS is holding on a videotaped message from a purported al Qaeda terrorist warning of a new attack on America, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The terrorist claims on tape the next attack will dwarf 9/11. "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead. Further claims: America has brought this on itself for electing George Bush who has made war on Islam by destroying the Taliban and making war on Al Qaeda.
ABCNEWS strongly denies holding the tape back from broadcast over political concerns during the last days of the election.
The CIA is analyzing the tape, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.
ABCNEWS obtained the tape from a source in Waziristan, Pakistan over the weekend, sources tells DRUDGE.
"We have been working 24 hours a day trying to authenticate [the tape]," a senior ABCNEWS source said Wednesday morning.
The terrorist's face is concealed by a head dress, and speaks in an American accent, making it difficult to identify the individual, but US intelligence officials believe that man may be Adam Gadhan - aka Adam Pearlman - a southern California native who was highlighted by the FBI in May as an individual most likely to be involved in or have knowledge of the next al Qaeda attacks.
According to the FBI, Gadahn, 25, attended al-Qaida training camps and served as an al-Qaida translator.
The disturbing tape runs an hour -- the man simply identifies himself as 'Assam the American.'

I did not realize this. If we loose a city or cities, those responsible at ABC, DNC for this should tried for treason. In the meantime, your right, shut them down.
"Holding onto it for more than five minutes without alerting the government is downright criminal. "
Right on Peach!!!!!!!
That part I agree with you...
Good post.
I am dismayed at alot of responses on this thread. Change the names and it could be DU. We are screaming about ABC, etc and we don't know how all this came about. Some treat this as a new thing in the campaign.
I think this is serious. We thought it would happen. We ought to quit this unseemly speculation of who will be helped in the election. That is just me saying it, I truly don't mean to insult anyone.
How many hours difference is there between Pakistan and US, plus don't forget to figure in the fact that MSM lies, so add several more days to it.
I know if they can't grsap this it make me wonder if they will ever be able to grasp anything...and that does make me fearful!
Maybe this is Kerry's "more thoughtful" warning system.
Actually seeing DU posters ask if they should be afraid is comforting. They are really human beings like us, and if some of them can see this as something to be worried about (we all have families) then imagine the effect on the rest of the country.
MOST DUer's are either under 20 or are liberal college professors.
Thank you. I should know better than to use my two local DJ's as a source.
What state?

ABC's new programing schedule........
the problem is the WHEN...if they've had it since the weekend and the Pentagon just got it in the last 24 hours - HELLO...that's the problem!
Wit holding information of great threat to us/US is NOT "privileged information" to be held back...
IS IT?
If so, then we need to get new law into the Homeland sec bill - NO ONE - not even the sacrosanct MSM can hold back such information.
If, god forbid, a tragedy happens that may well have been aided with extra time for the Homeland sec agencies to work it, ABC should be charged with TREASON & Aiding & Abetting
"if anything happens-we open internment camps"
Internment doesn't help and it costs too much. Most of the detainees who have been released have gone back to fighting us again. There's only one solution because it is the only solution that has an effect on muslims....death. Start with anyone living here named Mohammed.
By the way, why stop with nuking one of those locations? If we're going to piss them off we might as well show them that we aren't fooling around. All of the Arab countries need to have a "do-over".
I agree with you cajungirl. We are supposed to be the logical and rational ones.
Here's an interesting web video called
"How would they vote?"

This thing could turn out to be some misguided kid making a prank.
Isn't Milli...or is it Vanilli..dead?
Yeah, lets hope the tape doesn't have K-Mart on the back of it.
I can't believe there were 400 posts on this thread before anyone knew what the tape was about.
