"...my God,....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...innocent citizens' blood is on their filthy hands."

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.
Ok for those who believe this is a democrat trick to help elect kerry please answer one major question for me....
What democratic operative would have enough of a set to pass the tape to abc in warzeristan (Sp?)?
"...my God,....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...innocent citizens' blood is on their filthy hands."
I hope you're right...I've been thinking about this one for a while. Americans would rally around W AFTER an attack...but on a warning? These "Security Moms" make me nervous.
Anybody else?
"forgot MSNBC as a separate unit.....THEY DESERVE A CHECK MARK AFTER O'DONNELL yelled at John O'Neill."
Check mark for CNN being a stooge for Saddam in order to remain in Iraq.
Very good. Now for extra credit, examine the relevent provisions of the PATRIOT Act.
Exactly. Another Bernard Goldberg, perhaps.
they're going to air it at 6:30
With a non-denial denial? Oh, this should be good...
I LOVE that!!!!
AQ said they were going to try to influence the U.S. election. IMHO, putting out the message "Vote for Bush and we will kill you" would certainly qualify as attempting to influence the upcoming election.
Hmmmm..., but witholding this information would be an attempt to influence the upcoming election.
I am so confused...
Is that radio, or what Lizarde? I'm not much for radio.......if it's radio, try to let me know what is being said. Please.
ABC to air terror tonight at 6:30!!!

Without any tinfoil, I wonder if ABC held on to it to LOOK like they were trying not to affect the election, then let the story come out?
Folks! It is not complicated. A genuine tape was delivered via a courier to press in Pakistan. It was relayed via satellite link to ABC News. Government already had a tape of the transmission because they monitor satellite transmissions and thus know about the missing 15 minutes. Drudge knows because the government is pissed at ABC and want the edit and the contents of the threat in the public on the eve of the election. This will hurt Kerry big time, as Cheney might say. Enjoy it. I tis not some convoluted MSM scheme. Advantage Bush.

I dunno, Lizarde. My liver is close to hollerin' "uncle".
Kinda wish I could hang out on a desert isle until time to vote, then zoom back till my kind freeper friends tell me that it is over, and somehow the country has come to it's collective senses.
Dream on, right?
The MSM will be nonexistent in 20 years.
