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.'

If everyone is doing such a bad job, how to they explain what happened to Tiger Woods and his new bride when they went into port in Puerto Rico without receiving proper clearance. He got off with a fine, but the entire ship was searched.
Much too simple. How about ABC being party to the whole thing. The last shoe to fall will be ABC producing the party or parties behind the hoax, who just happen to be fervent George W. Bush promoters.
Now, there, we now have something they think they might be able to sell to the public at the last minute of the campaign. How totally ABC'ish of a thing to do!
You obviously haven't been paying attention to the news reporting on this subject today.
Brett Baier from Fox said that ABC got the video last weekend and didn't give it to CIA until yesterday which on my calendar is TUESDAY which means at least two days that ABC had video. Why?
Also, you have been a jack-ass all afternoon to everyone, and everyone, in trying to point out your mistakes have been instructional, not rude.
I think you need to take a break for awhile and leave the thread to people that respect each others opinions.
Michelle Malkin has everything you ever want to know about this guy on her site today.
Yes it was definitely you.
You ignorant, pathetic, anti semite weasle.
Get a life!
Maricon!!!
I have noticed, over the years, that the posters who make personal attacks, and find another poster to cling to/provide support to, are the ones who jump to conclusions because they don't spend any time reading any other posts than their own, and the one person they respond to.
You said:
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.
I am more upset that FREEPERS are believing ABC WITHHELD the tape from the CIA. I don't give a darn about ABC. I was only pointing out they weren't GUILTY, THIS TIME.
Maybe you should read some of the other posts, other than LADY JAG's. She is not the only one who posted on this thread, but it would appear her's are the only ones you see.
'George H.W.Bush did not destroy the taliban,,,,,,,,,,,,'
No, the US armed forces did. And before you tell me they are still around, destroyed in the military sense, not exterminated.

LMAO - don't know. Have to ask snowy who came up with the new alert code. PS: We gotta smile at something, eh?
You idiot I just told you that it was reported that ABC did hold the tape and you just repeated that they didn't - you remind me of Kerry - repeating a lie until someone believes it. I read every post and I respect their views, when they don't get nasty and insult other FReeper like you do. Who do you think you are, that you can talk to be or anyone else here, like you do?
You know, YOUR CREDIBILITY would be higher if you knew the ENGLISH LANGUAGE a little better.
What gives you the idea you are a troll killer? I don't believe you are an ADMIN MOD.
Are you accusing me of being a DEMOCRAT?
I will refrain from calling you any names, especially those that rhyme with twitch, as personal attacks are not allowed on FR, or haven't you bothered to read the rules?
thanks for the link, it is very good....
I would like to apologize if anyone has been offended by my posts today, except the one I am replying to, that is.
I don't particularly like FReepers that take personal shots at a poster - I think it is okay to have opinion differences but I don't think we need to get personal.
I will say though that if I think a poster is picking on another one needlessly, I might have to interject some support for that poster like I did Lady Jag.
But were are getting there. It's just a matter of time.

Why bother? They never tried to authenticate anything else they report.
Funny like it isn't a more reliable news source.
Oh ok. I think it's a good idea. The polls can become very frustrating on Election Day.
