If I was part of ABC I would want to make damb sure it is real.
Yes, setting off a national panic over a fake tape would be the end of ABC. The only argument here at all is when did they give it to Homeland Security? Beyond that, we have to take the threat seriously until proven otherwise.
How can some of you say that this is not a campaign issue?? I think it is very MUCH a campaign issue! This just re-emphasizes how important it is WHO IS IN CHARGE in Jan. 2005!!
All the more reason for ABC to have turned it over IMMEDIATELY to the Feds!! This stuff is too serious to play partisan politics with. As stated time and again by others upthread - the holding of this tape is tantamount to treason.
