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.'

I wonder if they aren't hoisting themselves by their own petard?

I worked in an around media, local (Boston) and national from the 60s to the 80s. Over that time, network news consistently lost audience. This is before FR and home computers!

Back then they were talking about giving up on the network news - local news always did fine. I don't know why they didn't give it up like they were saying so long ago and can't imagine how they're still in business now.

But to most of us, it sure as heck looks like suicide.

here in California where we have Middle Eastern people all over the community.

Methinks you should run for cover when they leave.

Perhaps you should not have questioned my loyalty to begin with.

You came off as an arrogant bastard.

Stop by and visit if you are ever at JFK.

I will be glad to show you my credentials.

One more thing buddy.

I can guarantee you that I have done more for my country during my career than you have ever done in your entire life.

wasn't it just within the last coupla weeks that Zawahiri announced he was joining OBL?

Drudge has some new stuff up now on this that says the tape is from within the last few months.

That is probably a good indicator of imminent attack--in Beslen the local Muslim populace mostly left town in the days immediately prior to the Islamofascist attack on the children. They were tipped.

"Visited two large venues this summer, Staples Center and Disneyland. Each time with a (kid's stuff) backpack. Through both security points I was far from impressed. Absolutely will heed all warnings.

Especially movie complexes where several hundred can gather or teh Crystal Cathedral. Both of those are easy to hit as well.

- If their "authentication procedures" are as good as Dan Rather used with his forged letters, we will wait a long time for an opinion on their authenticity to be rendered.

G osh I didn't know that, I thought I read all pertinent factsd about Beslan because it broke my heart as well as made the hair stand up on the back of my neck whenever I picked up granddaughter for a couple of weeks.

The muslims left just before?

Do they have any evidence that muslims left right before 9/11? I don't remember - I know there was conspiracy theorys that the Jewish workers at WTC left.

Based on your premise, I would look for places like stadiums, ballparks, Cathedrals and other mass gatherings to be targets.

They would have a field day of rich targets on New Years Eve.

I imagine a lot of people aren't trusting the CIA these days. I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude with Porter Goss in there; but a lot of the employees seem to be lefties these days (for whatever reason escapes me).

Makes no sense for OPEC to strike their customers this way or to ever patronize or finance terror unless under threat.

No matter what they do to us or others, the fact is their days are numbered regarding people needing oil at all, so I'm sure they want to sell what they can before alternatives make them poorer than the dirt they live in.

Well if I remember right the last lunar eclipse we had during ramadan was when there was a terrorists strike in Ramahdi, Saudi Arabi. I think that was about 2 yrs ago.

Guys, I live in Texas, Bush country, and they said they have been getting in 1 polling place 2000 voters a day**************

I do not like this week and half for voting - I imagine, for example that there are alot of people that have voted for sKeery that would now change their votes.

there is no need for such a long voting time...Just stream line the voting system.

Personally, I think the old fashioned paper , mark your X (actually, in my little hamlet, that's just what we have, LOL) - but seriously, a paper, with PHOTOS for the candidates (who could say they mistakingly voted for the wrong one 'cause it was confusing...like "I mistook "GW" for sKerry") ...and use - like in USE - 2 ID's, at least one a photo...

along with rules that there has to be EQUAL representation of dims/repubs in town/city election committees./..Out of , what, some 47-8 districts in Florida, only 1 was run by republicans!!!! I'm getting tired, time for a nap...

Yes, I can see the cranes that load/unload the ships from my balcony. It could be the christmas rush but they are getting stacked up out there waiting to go into port.

Keep in mind before they all went after Jews in Israel, the Middle East and their people were killing each other in tribal warfare and genocide historically. So there is no Borg collective among the Middle Eastern people.

If a cell wants to take out an area, those connected with the cell would probably figure they are expendable.

In the World Trade Towers many there were also Middle Eastern, so the theory of watching for disappearing Middle Eastern people isn't likely.

Here is a quote from a taxi driver in Beslan:
"Actually, the Ingush who disappeared from Vladikavkaz on the eve of September 1st now live in the city, experiencing no problems. "Who is going to bother them, tell me please?" asks van-taxi driver Akhsar in agitation. He drives the 'Vladikavkaz-Nazran' route. "They are like rats, they run off when danger threatens them. On the 30th and 31st, before the school was seized, by the way, they cleared out of here at the speed of sound, they packed the buses like herrings." Akhsar could not forgive himself, that on those days he did not report his suspicions to the police. "Us drivers, we discussed among ourselves how they were running away, just like back in 1992, but who could know that this nightmare would occur?" he worried."

That quote comes from this FR article.

Look you either mis-read, didn't understand, or I didn't make plain enough what I meant in my post. Other people knew what I meant just fine, I am sorry you didn't figure it out.

But let me say this to you in plain language. Don't insult me by comparing me to that piece of shiite liberial that is running for President. I didn't deserve that because you couldn't understand what I meant.

Also I will not get into an argument with you about this & I don't care for or about an apology. Just don't respond to me again & we'll be fine.
