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.'

Boy listening to the pollsters on O'Reilly it's brutal. I tell you NO ONE can get sick. If it looks like rain or snow on Tuesday go vote now. They think it could actually come down to Hawaii making the difference and they are 6 hours behind Eastern Time.
Second, I went back and reread the posts between myself and Lady Jag, and I think I see what happened.
I said ABC was the least BIASED of the MSM's.
I don't put FOX in the same category as the others. I think of them as the big three ABC/CBS/NBC. I believe Lady Jag may have thought I was placing ABC above FOX. Believe me, that was not my intention. I should have been clearer.
Back to your point. I wasn't trying to defend ABC. I was trying to point out that DRUDGE'S HEADLINE was misleading, and the posters were reacting to that.
Imagine how we would look if a majority of posters sent emails, phone calls complaining about how ABC held onto the terrorist tape, calling it a criminal action, AND THEN TO FIND OUT ABC did not hold on to it any longer than necessary.
They received it on the weekend, when MGMT is gone, and the JV is in charge. The CIA reports they received a copy on MONDAY.
The posters who were arguing so adamantly with me, and making personal attacks, stated that a reporter on FOX said the CIA got it TUESDAY.
I think FOX has it's own agenda, which is to capture a larger share of the audience, and this election cycle has made that possible by FOX expanding their 'fair and balanced' approach, while the BigThree were committed to left field. Did they do it because everyone at FOX is unbiased and has high moral values? Or because they were able to get a larger share than the BIG THREE, Finally?
Therefore, the reporter at FOX could have been 'fudging' the story a little, or taking non-sourced info about the TUEDAY date for the video.
At any rate, None of it really matters, except we should make sure we get our facts STRAIGHT.
Did you know that all 31 dead terrorist in the Beslan massacre were - forensics - on hard drugs, Heroin and cocaine?
Those that carry out the suicide missions are evidently drugged into inhumanness -
no 'nuance" is going to reach them except out of the business end of a barrel.
Beslan was a preview for us. Never doubt that.
Have you ever seen the photos from Beslan? VERY hard to look at, but everyone should - for we must NEVER forget who we are dealing with. the first link is to the photos, the second one to a link where, should anyone want to, they can send help.
There are still many children who, though they survived , are horribly wounded and will undergo treatment and surgeries for months...many will will maimed physically, the rest of their lives. All will be maimed mentally. (the help site should be legit: it's the one Oprah had listed...
And there are many children and families who lost parents, children, have wounded parents, etc...I wish I could afford to send a giant box of beany babies. Little ones don't see money, but a soft little 'someone to hug" from someone who cares...
I wonder if we all could do a "drive?" Right now, they have about what we would spend over here on a handful through the months of care and surgeries.
There's one phot that should be a poster for the world: a little hand covered in blood, clutching a tiny gold cross. (I wish I knew how to post a photo in here!)
(I remember the candlelight vigils the Russian people had for us after 9/11. They are a wonderful people.)

WE must keep "The Man" in office. He is the ONLY one who will push the partial birth abortion ban - which is the wedge. this country must show, to God, that we will protect his little ones...or
It's OVERcast...arrgh. I'm gonna miss it :(
Then watch this. It starts off silly, but have a kleenex handy and watch all the way through.

P.S. Sleep well, if you can.
betcha that other guy (creep( running for President has no sense of humor
I wonder if this is one case where "assisted" would be justified? :o)
I do not like that, Sam I am. Has this been reported? Can you say the general area?
He or she? Did you look under the tail? ;o)
Peace pipe. You have FReepmail.
Assisted by whom is the mystery. Or is it?
Is this just some more crap to throw at President Bush? Bush is on Gods time table, not Kerries!
Remember my tinfoil hat warning. Could it just be me that has seen this south of Boston?
this sounds like a dim scare to get the vote out before Kerry's votes go into a nose dive...which I will bet the farm their internal polls are telling them. Hold steady - a blizzard wouldn't keep me home. I've got my snowshoes...
Just clouded up and rained here, too.
Yes - I was priviledged to see it before it was posted. I sent it to all my "kids" but warned them not to let their little ones see it...
Bommer's the best. Gonna put on his "WheN the Man..."
HEY EVERYBODY! Here's what we need to do RIGHT NOW!. Play Bommer's "When the Man Comes Comes Around" If you haven't seen it yet...here's the link: If we play it now ...just think of the energy for "W" will be permeating the skies across the Land...it'll make you remember, bring a tear to your eye, and give you a great belly laugh.
CAUTION! You can't watch it just once! Get set? Let it ROLL http://pages.sbcglobal.net/bommer/When_The_Man_Comes_Around.html
No WAY!
I have heard that the actual polls kept by the campaign people are a lot more accurate and also a lot different than the ones on tv.
FOXnews online has a TOTAL screen on the terror story.
I've NEVER seen this before on any story,
They have been busy!
