My point is really this. Authenticating the video doesn't really seem to add much to the discussion. We already know they want to attack us before the election. Think of it from the opposite position. Could anyone really argue that they don't want to attack us before the election?

Refocuses the political discussion on the War on Terror, which is where it should be focused, which is why the MSM wants to bury this story as soon as possible. They did a pretty good job of burying it yesterday and Freepers hardly made a peep.

Right, it does properly refocus the Terror issue, but note that ABC's hesitation is more complex than simply wanting to do Qerri a favor.

When the embedded MSNBC folks followed their journalistic instincts and started talking facts regarding not seeing IAEA seals or RDX/HMX stores at al-QaQaa, they inconviently forced the NYT to recast its story, and were then viciously jumped on by their sister organization, NBC and other co-conspirators.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive! (Sir Walter Scott)

ABC doesn't want the wrath of their fellow travellers so close to an election. They've completely shown their hypocrisy at freely airing Qerri's charges while withholding national-security-related threat information, even if it were the half-baked work of some other deranged madmen or would show how badly al-Qaeda has been beaten back.
