You know, one would almost think the media applies a different standard for broadcasting a story "during an election" as between stories that help kerry and stories that might help Bush.
I know that can't really be the case, but it almost seems that way sometimes.
Funny sad and true!
Frightening considering if he were American born, he'd be difficult to track down.
I agree. I'll only add that they want to destroy us today as they did hundreds of years ago and as they will hundreds of years from now. Who is it going to be, us or them?
agreed. it would be criminal to withold that information from the public before the elections.

Just sent ABC an email now.
I'm sure we are going to see the tape, but I'm glad ABC is not the one to air it. The terrorists want a major network to air the tape. Once they realize that no network is going to do it they will dump it elsewhere.
Orange Glow! lol
Vanilla, French Vanilla, Homemade Vanilla, and Rich Vanilla Bean Vanilla.
They basically run the same stories in the same order with the same slant. ABC is no better or worse than the rest.
The only exception is the Fox News Channel, which gives staight news straight and labels commentary as commentary.
Maybe not, maybe I am a bit of a sensationalist, but what I am first and formost is a patriot, and second of all a die-hard republican. I woke up to the events on 9/11, my sleep disrupted by hearing Cavuto talk about a then thought "accidental" crash into the north tower, and saw on LIVE TV the second plane hit the south tower. If ABC believes its a terror threat and is authentic, and the CIA and FBI have independently authenticated it, then pre or post election, our homeland is in iminent danger of attack, and all measures must be taken to either prevent it, contain and minimize the damage if unavoidable (someone willing to kill themselves is darn near impossible to stop), and retaliate massively following such. As such they need to open the silos, sortie the bombers (target: Mecca and Medina) put fighters in the air in major cities, mobilize all stateside national guard units and put the city county and state police on full alert, becuase if something like this happens, America needs to do to Islam what Rome did to Carthage, destroy their lands and sow the ground with SALT!!!!
Ha!!
we are now on John Kerry orange
If this is a real terror threat, and the CIA and FBI have looked at it and agree it is a real threat, WHY can't Tom Ridge release the Video himself? Why would he allow ABC to decide WHEN Americans can be warned of another attack? Doesn't make sense to me.
The only network that has the tape is ABC, that's why it has not shown up on any cable channel.
ABC thinks the political implications of airing the tape right now might outweigh its news value. (IOW, it might help Bush by reminding voters the WOT is real.)
