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.'

This is the line in the sand; here I go and no further.

I was just thinking, where would Kerry draw a line in the sand if he were elected. I concluded if Kerry were President and we were attacked on the West Coast of the US Kerry would draw a line in the sand on the beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey. and dare them to cross it.

I appreciate your intervention.

I'm done with Mossad, his argumentation consists of condemnation and name calling...not worth attempting to debate his views.

Gee, if we want to do something to inform the public, how about this.

Remember after the Vietnam war, when they came out with those bracelets for POW/MIA's ?????

Then there was the insistence by the foreign gov'ts that no POW's were being held after the war?

There was a mistrust of our government officials who came back and reported NO POW's.

There was a movie MISSING IN ACTION or one of the RAMBO ones where the star went back to VIETNAM to rescue POW's that OUR GOV'T SAID did not exist.

In the movie there was a SENATOR who was head of the COMMITTEE who ordered that if POW's were found, the mission was to be scrubbed, the hero left to die, etc.

FROM THE MOVIE: "Rambo returns this time in an attempt to free POW's in Vietnam. In the jungles Rambo fights with stealth and leads a gureilla warfare campaign into the hearts of communist Vietnam. Captured and tortured he does not break. After his escape he returns to his commanders in America that betrayed him and left him to die in Vietnam. With M-60 in hand the mission CO witnesses his office shot to pieces in the climatic end."

FACT:

SENATE COMMITTEE ON POW/MIA'S

On August 2, 1991, the United States Senate approved a resolution introduced by Sen. Robert Smith providing for the creation of a Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs to serve during the remainder of the 102nd Congress.

In October, 1991, a Chairman (Sen. John Kerry), Vice-chairman (Sen. Robert Smith), and ten additional Members were appointed to the Committee. A resolution providing funding was approved. The hearings began on November 5, 1991. The Committee’s Final Report was issued on January 13, 1993.

Published Report of the Senate Committe on POW/MIA'S

I getting a slow response but haven't noticed any posts disappearing...where, in the forums or on your comments page? I've noticed my posts take a few extra seconds to show up these days, but figured they're getting more scrutiny as politics heat up.

......conflicting analyses it appears

I'm not surpirsed that the CIA is conflicted, there are plenty of Clinton-era people still there and some who do not like the President. In the event that something they examine really would be important and make people realize that Kerry is a BAD choice for our future, we may not get the whole truth from them. State Dept is over-run with them too.

Out of all the existing news organizations in the world, why would ABC alone be given such a tape by terrorists?

Be careful. Be very very careful here.

And a Freeper from California reporting yesterday (here) about contacting the FBI because a mysterious middle-eastern type was photographing her condo units -- which happen to be across the street and around the corner from two schools. When she confronted him he jumped in his car and took off.

"Now you have us all confused."

I think Mossad was talking to me...but he's too emotionally over the top to watch what he's doing, he replied to his own post while trying to tell me to to "go screw myself" and calling me an "animal".

Or maybe he has multiple personality disorder and was actually telling himself that and calling himself an animal...hard to tell.

When I left Boston media in the 80s, national news was already dying. Now, with nobody watching, where do you think they get their money from?

Yes, Mr. Halperin is biased, and has fostered that in the organization he administrates.

How did we get so far off base?

All media are complicit in hyping,distorting,tailoring the news for the benefit of their advertisers, and politicians.

I was trying to point out that they sent a copy to the CIA ASAP, and had not broadcast it to the public, for whatever reason. Those on here who believe they did KEEP that tape from the CIA would appear to be WRONG, and I am trying to get them to understand that.

The comments page- but I'm sure you are right, there is so much "traffic" that after I submit a post, it might take 50 posts to get to it. But you know, what I'm loving it, especially when I check the news page and see some of the poll results that are good for Bush. Actually, this story has kinda taken my mind off the election for a few hours.
