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.'

We have enough leftist whackos in this country who will do anything to bring down Bush.You are right, this could be a setup by the demonRATS, I would take no chances and have someone in the administration hold a news conference on this tape even if they think it's a fake, Bush has to cover himself in case there is an attack before the election. The MSM will say Bush didn't take this threat seriously and if the RATS want to scream scare tactics let them , they would only be proving the point that Kerry and the leftists have no business running this country.
To: Hartranft
only references al Qaeda and the Taliban and no reference at all to our actions in Iraq. Wasn't Iraq the galvanizing point in anti-American sentiment? Another reason for AntiBushConglomerate not to show it.
************didn't want to give any credence to fact that terrorist are also in Iraq?

This from a Google search of todays news:
""Don Snyder, marketing manager for the Port of Long Beach, called the conditions "not a good situation" and predicted that "for the rest of this peak season, it's going to be a catch-up game." Daily bulletins from the port show dozens of ships idling at anchor, waiting for their turn at a dock where their containers of shoes, toys, furniture, frying pans and other consumer products can be unloaded by workers.""
Even a small bomb would disrupt commerce as well as bolster Kerry's "container" argument. This is all I plan to say on this issue (Loose lips sink ships)- so as not to give anyone any ideas. I've felt we were somewhat vulnerable since reading Clancy's "Sum of All Fears".

"... for 30+ years, their corporate shareholders haven't given a crap about their profitability."
Well do you think that they keep the Old Media so called news going out of the goodness of their hearts then?

'America will mourn in silence' This could also mean that we have no so called allies.It makes me think of how quiet it was outside when our airlines were shut down.

But you don't think they would give us more time? I know we are dealing with brainless animals, but would ABC just having it since the week-end, they would hit us this soon?

It makes me think of how quiet it was outside when our airlines were shut down. The sky was so clear. There were absolutely no jet trails anywhere. It was silent.
To: dawn53
You can work to authenticate it at the same time you turn the real copy over to the CIA.
I'm not defending ABC but it looks like we are grasping at straws at some items.
To: LUV W
Does this have Soros's fingerprints on it? He has tried to take down governments before using the monetary systems. HE is a terrorist!!!Excellent observation. Thanks. Fits quite well, actually.

I remember so well. Was at the gas station, looked up in the sky and saw three planes way, way up. One was Air Force, flanked by fighters. I will never forget that as long as I live. Everyone was looking up, with dead silence.
