XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 28, 2004 17:02:35 ET XXXXX
TERROR TAPE WARN OF BUSH, CHENEY CONSEQUENCE; ABC WITHHELD PORTIONS FROM CIA
**Exclusive**
ABCNEWS withheld portions of an alarming new al Qaeda videotape which warns the next terror attack will dwarf 9/11 from the CIA when they submitted the video for analysis, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.
The CIA and FBI late Wednesday authenticated the tape, federal sources tell DRUDGE. ABCNEWS has been informed of the government's standing.
"What took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America and that our Lord willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about September 11," the man, whose face is covered by a headdress, warns in the video. "After decades of American tyranny, now it's your turn to die."
ABCNEWS submitted portions of the video threat to the FBI and CIA on Monday for analysis, top government sources tell DRUDGE, after obtaining the tape from a source in Pakistan.
A top goverment source said from Washington that ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the CIA -- the portion of the tape where the man warns of retribution for Americans electing Bush and Cheney.

"You are guilty, guilty, guilty. You're as guilty as Bush and Cheney. You're as guilty as Rumsfeld and Ashcroft and Powell...," the man states.
He goes on to warn of an upcoming horror: "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead.
"People of America, that was the verdict now for the sentencing: as participants and partners in the crimes of the regime, you too shall pay the price for the blood that has been spilled."
One ABC source, who demanded anonymity, said Thursday morning, the network was struggling to find a correct journalistic "balance" before airing any story on the video.
"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," the ABC source explained.
I am sorry, I disagree. This certainly would border on the government declaring martial law and those responsible should be tried and immediately put to death for jeopardizing our country.
Oh, we won't grieve in silence. WE'll be too busy blasting you straight to hell.
ABC has committed Treason. They can join Al Quida as far as I'm concerned.
This also shows the collusion of ABC, CBS, AND the NYT with the democrats, JOHN KERRY, willing to put YOUR LIVES on the line so that bastard can win, and go on to SELL OUT THE NATION to these corrupt "coalitions" he wants to have. And we know which corrupt coalitions he wants, the same ones who corrupted the UN, lined their pockets with blood money of enslaved Iraqi people.
Kerry and the democrats are SICK, DISGUSTING people.
GET ON THE PHONE PEOPLE!
Make every single news outlet aware of this! Local or otherwize!
ABC must have thought they were the ONLY ones to get the tape -- wrong and it is going to cost them dearly!
The Sandy Berger matter is still under federal investigation.
If it is found that ABC withheld any part of that tape from federal authorities, I believe there will be serious repercussions.
It's hard to believe that the CIA/FBI don't have the missing 15 minutes now. That information would provide more clues to the source, credibilty, authenicity, response, etc. The MSM is not only acting irresponsibly, but are doing there best to ensure the downfall of our nation.
It's one thing for ABC to say they didn't want to throw something so volatile out to the public in the middle of voting, but to actually withhold parts of the tape from the CIA...the bastards at ABC need to be held to account in a big way. This story needs to go beyond Drudge.
I mean, my God, we're hearing they withheld a terror tape from the government, and from the people because of the election. They are jeopardizing American lives, if an attack occurs having any link to this tape, shouldn't the American people put ABC out of business? Our innocent citizens' blood is on their filthy hands.
Apparently someone at ABC isn't aware of CFR 47. I think the best way to handle this is to have the FCC pull all of ABC's licenses for review pending revocation of their broadcast licenses. Maybe the MSM will realize it not nice to fool with Uncle Sam.
Wonderfully fun to watch MSM further self destruct.
Old Media is the Western Bureau of Al Qaeda.
I'm not trying to be a smarta$$ here, but so what if they did?
Great job as usual Dio.
These left wing maggots at ABC are playing with the lives of our families, friends and the life of the Republic.
You can just smell the hand of George $oreA$$ in this mess.
Withholding material evidence of a specific threat is illegal. This is a textbook example. They tampered with evidence by editing it.
what did we do before the internet?! MSM had no problem putting junk out there that would hurt W...now they are holding back information that not only would help W's case, but could ultimately harm the American public. How would the administration get grilled if they were holding back terror information because it might affect the election? Unbelievable.
Just like CBS thought they were the only ones to get the CYA memos from Texas.
I read earlier today that the Christian Science Monitor reporter in Pakistan (I think Pakistan) viewed the tape and said it was 75 minutes in length.
Putting two and two together, let's assume a friendly ear in the Bush administration or CIA received word of the contents of the tape from the CSM, and then noticed the ABC tape was missing some of the content discussed.
Just a guess, but it is a possibility.
My suspicion meter needs serious recalibration these days. What is to be believed and who is believable? My head is spinning and I might vote Nader now.
Perfect!
hey can you do another one with the wash post and cnn checked off too?
JUST WHO IN THE HELL DO THE NEWS MEDIA THINK THEY ARE? GOD?
