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.
In the Washinton Post article I just read--bottom line, ABC is blaming Bush for this tape being released as a scare tactic to work in their favor for the election. That of course is ABC's warped interpretation.
"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."
And ABC had absolutely no problem airing obviously fake documents with no confirmation from any other sources, with apparently the sole intent of defaming the President's reputation about a 30-year old non-issue right before an election, but this one they stop and think about even with CIA confirmation as to its authenticity? Their arrogance and duplicity are just astounding.
The longer ABC waits, the worse they look. Bush will simply send a copy to another network. ABC will probably try to run little innocuous pieces of the tape, but it will be too late for them by then. ABC NEWS now joins CBS News and NY Times as a fully discredited news organization.

I did almost an hour ago, but he is on location in Philly an is hamming it up with the crowd.
So, we have to find an answer otherwise we will have the media and terrorists (real or bought) ruling our elections through fear. Is that freedom?
We are not Spain...
Reading between the lines, they don't have any big operations set to go off before the election.
I know what you are saying but this is different -- they tampered with evidence that was given to the CIA -- apples and oranges.
I thought the CBS people should have fried but in comparison that was minor to withholding national security information from the CIA when you know there was an additional 15 minutes.
Sorry I am so slow, Peach!
Well, it might be a hairy week-end.
Like I said, years ago when we didn't have the Internet and just one news media, they could pull the wool over our eyes. No more. No more.......everything is out there at the speed of light!
Ohhhhh, this producer must not have received the memo stating the company line was that it was only 60 minutes long.
I wasn't going to vote early; I was going to wait till Tuesday. But since this video from the Qa-Qa's has shown up...
I may just go down and vote early for BUSH/CHENEY after all!
If your right then why would the cia or fbi say they have authenticated the tape as real?
No,if we get hit,i think america will demand,and ANY president who dosnt would be wrong,To nuke the main centers of this religion of crap
....But do fault them for not giving the whole tape to the CIA....
Me too!!!!!
Thanks!
That was a leak from the CIA but not confirmed. Most likely a Clinton leaker but now we have have the real story.
I agree with every word you said, and I think I know the bastards contolling so-called "news" output in this country as well as anyone. I even predicted earlier today that this evening we would see the real October Surprise. Yet, when you compare the ABC behavior with what we have seen on the El Ca CA Story, it still numbs you.
And tonight when we get "All Haliburton All the Time" until the robots listening are sufficiently mind-numbed to either vote kerry or stay home, I will again feel shock. Come Tuesday night, 80% of Americans will not of even heard of the ABC Terrorist Tape......unless the Pajamahadeen can change that.
