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.'

You just like Peter Jennings because he says he's here to protect his idiot audience so they won't get scared. He's the bad combo of arrogant idiot. ABC hasn't reported news for years - it's all editorialized. That's why smart people and FReepers only watch network news to gather evidence against them.
Tin foil hat time.....
I have a talk radio home & car. All talk, all day, every day. Needless to say, my radio is on alot. In the shadow of this and other posts, I have noticed more tests of the Emergency Broadcast System these past few days.
The last was just a few minutes ago on WDUN (Gainesville, GA) while listening to Sean. Hopefully, it is a case of being prepared. In fact it is prudent for them to be prepared for any possibility. I would rather them err on the side of caution.
I also remember President Bush speaking of a recent threat, but one which was not specific enough to warrant a change in the alert level (or words to that effect).
I am not an alarmist, but as I mentioned before, we should all be prepared. The President is not lying to us when he says "Not if, but when."
Kerry is making empty promises.
That's what I wanted to know - whether ABC was engaging in their hiding this tape in an effort to hurt Bush, or because they thought it would (rightly) remind everyone of the terror threat and therefore make them more likely to vote for Bush.
There was talk of Guatemalan terrorists/Al Qaeda trained, having infiltrated through Mexico, heading toward California or already in place, with plans to blow up several cities. Because of this, the rumor goes, Arnold could only give one day...Friday...to helping Bush campaign in Ohio. He has to rush back to California. This could be true.
I was being kind when I used the word pause...actually I should have used "suspicion."
"I could care less."
Apparently not - but never-the-less your position brings you allegiance into question.
Do you trust the Mossad more than you trust the CIA?
Now, see, this has me a bit confused.
Why? Well, the guy on the tape apparently has American ties, meaning he should have a better working knowledge of how Americans act and think than most terrorists who, like Hitler, have a very warped view of what America is and what makes its people tick.
Anyway, this piece of s**t should know that such braggadocio and over the top/overheated language won't intimidate Americans into submission.
The overheated language common among so many sexually frustrated, gender confused, penile size-challenged Arab terrorists may play well in Ramallah or Fallujah, but not here.
Don't let it happen again.
These DU people lack common sense, evidently.
This tape business would logically only serve to
try to make people react like Spain did in their
recent election and elect the "liberal cut & runner".
So, the Islamic Terrorists hope sending this tape
will sway us to Kerry, and if Kerry were elected they
would have a heydey getting built up for a REAL attack
later.
I had not. Hadn't seen that post yet. Don't know who posted it yet, otherwise I would add their name to the post.
In response: Yes, the media is biased,leftist, supports what keeps their pockets lined, and lies to the public. It has always been this way. There are exceptions to be found, I am sure.
So, ABC has proven by past performance they are just like CBS,NBC.
OK. No problemo.
But if you want to see CROOKS GO FREE, then ACCUSE THEM OF CRIMES THEY DIDN'T COMMIT.
This time they followed the rules, FOR WHATEVER REASON, GOOD OR BAD(to us, anyway).
IF WE continue to ACCUSE THEM OF WITHHOLDING THE TAPE from the CIA, GUESS WHO ENDS UP BEING KNOWN AS LIARS????
It depends. IMHO it will help Bush, but I sing in the choir. It strengthens my resolve.
Well, it was ABC that sent out the memo during the debates that instructed their journalist to treat the candidates differently.
It admitted Kerry used fabrications, but they were not to be questioned, because it was up to ABC to discern what the listener should know and influence their impression of what was being said.
I'd say ABC is right behind CBS and the NYT in their bias.
I thought the person who caught the Millenium bomber was a border patrol agent, doing a routine stop, up on the Washington/Canadian border. A woman.
She noticed a very nervous man in a car at the border crossing. She stopped him and searched the car, expecting to find drugs. Instead, she found explosives.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think the FBI had a hand in this -- at least until after the guy was caught.
HAVEN'T THEY ALREADY ATTACKED SPAIN AGAIN,IN SPITE OF
THEM ELECTING WHO THE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS COMMANDED THEM
TO?? This is the line in the sand; here I go and no
further.

I was just trolling over at DU to see their take on this story. They are saying Karl Rove and the Freepers leaked the story to Drudge, Fox. Paranoia runs deep.
This is absolutely right. They didn't say it wasn't real. They said they haven't verified the veracity yet. Definitely not the same thing...
