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.'

NY Post ^ | 10/9/04 | Deborah Orin
ABC News was under fire last night after an internal memo surfaced suggesting President Bush should be held more accountable for his statements than John Kerry. The memo to staffers from the network's powerful political director, Marc Halperin, noted that while both campaigns are distorting the truth, Kerry's bending of the facts shouldn't be hit as hard. "Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win," Halperin wrote. But "the current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes...
Oh no. I forgot about Halloween. Good grief!
No, I think the briefings would be on Monday. And they would be carefully worded (to the point of almost downplaying concerns) so that the current admin could not be accused of scaring voters away from the polls. Besides, they don't want democracy to be bullied by terrorist threats.
Another thing: outside of Absentee Voters, this is the FIRST year I ever heard of the polls being opened a week or two early. How about you?

As if Dan Rather's use of forged documents to try to discredit President Bush shortly before the election was not enough of a clue to the mainstream media's political agenda, ABC News has now joined CBS News in the political spin game. What ABC News has done was too elaborate to be called a "mistake." Now that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have become too well known for the mainstream media to continue ignoring them, ABC's Nightline with Ted Koppel has broadcast its "investigation" of one of the Swift Boat veterans' charges against John Kerry. The charge was that
And, of course, I didn't mean you in particular. I was trying to respond to the poster's question that you mentioned.
Now! She's sharp! I never could picture them together!!!

During his Tuesday interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer played on Wednesday's Good Morning America, John Kerry excused his statement, that "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it," as "one of those inarticulate moments late in the evening when I was dead tired in the primaries and I didn't say something very clearly." In fact, however, Kerry's March 16 remark at a West Virginia campaign event happened shortly after 1pm in the afternoon. FNC and CNN noted Kerry's misstatement of the time of day, but not ABC -- not on Wednesday morning nor even on...

"That is where you belong you Idiot!!!"
So you would condemn an intellectually impaired person to hell, rather than defend your positions? That's fair and balanced.
You trust a talk show host more than you do an agency whose job it is to help defend us from foreign enemies.
At the same time, you choose as your nickname the "intelligence" service of a foreign government?
I will not continue in this flame war with you, you've lost both your credibility and entertainment value for me.
Now you have us all confused.

The New York Post ^ | Oct 10,2004 | Opinions
October 10, 2004 -- Mainstream media bias against Republican presidental candi dates is a fact of American po litical life. Rarely, though, has this been so evident as this year; the establishment media seems to have become a wing of John Kerry's campaign. One unusually candid member of the liberal media mafia admitted as much during the Democratic convention. Evan Thomas, assistant managing editor of Newsweek, offered this confession on media bias on the PBS program "Inside Washington."

Et Tu, ABC? By Bobby Eberle October 11, 2004 With only three weeks remaining until voters go to the polls to determine the next president of the United States, both sides are unleashing a full barrage of campaign ads, stump speeches, and political attacks. In addition to political messages being delivered directly by the presidential campaigns and their surrogate speakers, both Republicans and Democrats have their share of third-party advocates -- MoveOn.org, America Coming Together, and others on the left, and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth on the right. However, it appears more evident and more obvious that the Democrats...

My point exactly.
Is it the same thing I think it is before I thought it wasn't?
It's a no-win situation for the terrorists. If they attack us between now and January, they can't pull our President out of office during war time.
But I would rather have a big land slide at the Polls!
ABC NEWS WITHELD THIS INFO FROM THE PUBLIC BECAUSE IT WOULD SWAY PEOPLE TO BUSH??????????
CBS AND ABC = NO CREDIBILITY
Being as I can see about 10 ships sitting out in the ocean waiting to move into port I would say that the reason for the wait is for the extra security measures being taken at this time. Besides the strike I have not seen this many ships waiting to go into port in a while.
I understand. No problem.
Go Lady Jag Go - I don't know what his/her problem is, but he seems to be more upset that someone would critisize ABC than what the tape actually means.
Go Lady Jag Go - Love the call-backs to the best articles!
