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.

Heads will roll at ABC (LITERALLY) if an attack occurs in the next several days that could have been prevented.

I really worry about dis-info, or that it gets "labeled" that way by the MSM worried that it might hurt Kerry. I'm as worried that it's fake as I am that it's real.

Well Drudge is reporting that ABC with held 15 minutes of the tape,. If there is only one tape it makes it hard to hear the complete tape.

I would bet that now they have heard the complete tape...

After a visit by the FBI!

Thank you Mr. Expert who just signed on this month. This isn't giving a biased news report -- this is withholding national security information from the CIA and Homeland Security.

Shame you cannot see the difference but then having just signed on, I am not surprised!

Halperin has hated conservatives, Christians, Jews, Republicans and the Bushes for decades.

His Daddy is George $oreA$$'s #1 tool in defeating GW with whatever means is available.

Drudge has been living large the last few days as the big media outlets fall all over themselves trying to sway the election.

On another note, these idiotic terrorists just served themselves up their worst nightmare. I don't think the UN will be able to save them now.

What kind of idiot holds back on the CIA?

Not idiots. Evil.

They put partisan politics and hating Bush and wanting him out over giving the agencies all of the information that might be vital for our security.

ABC has been notified of the government's standing.

Sounds like a shot across the bow to me.

"A network producer obtained the tape over the weekend from an intermediary in Pakistan -- who charged a $500 transportation fee -- and ABC's New York headquarters got a feed of the video Monday,"

I notice that Drudge said he got it from federal sources, which could mean that a whistleblower at ABC tipped off the feds rather than going to Drudge directly.

I am just shaking my head.

I hate being in a panic mode, but I feel a panic attack coming on. This is getting a bit too deep for my liking.

I don't know why you would be shocked at this. You are witnessing the actions of a CORNERED RAT. The Left is fighting for its very life in this election. When Bush wins, he will have four more years for reshaping the Supreme Court (the thing they fear the most) and will set the agenda for reforming the IRS, Social Security and Energy Production. The Left cannot allow the populace to witness the benefits of a Conservative agenda. It will be the end of them for decades.

Anyone send this to Sean? Or does he get his own heads-up from Drudge?

Christian Science Monitor has an article about the tape that describes why it is extremely unlikely to be a fake. It contains the same sophisticated signature of other tapes released by this terrorist outfit.

"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," the ABC source explained.

You report, we decide. The MSM did the same thing by withholding the true horror of 9/11. They treat the public as children who can't be told the whole truth. What insufferable arrogance. The times are a changing my friend...
