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.
Hopefully, it'll be Fox News. Though some of the bigwigs at Fox are blithering Kerry supporters and some of the network's content reflects that, Fox is still the least biased of any major news outlet.
Is the motto with these news organizations: Anything to support Kerry. These people are so in the tank for Kerry that they would leave us exposed to terrorists. Is that how it is now? God help us because liberals and Hollywood entertainers and so-called "journalists" won't. Anything to protect their pampered lifestyles and screw us.
YES THEY ARE! Tape being shown to detainees to try to find out who it is. Cintanni (sp?) is ON IT!
:::snuffle::: You're giving me homework? LOL It's gonna take me awhile, cuz I've never waded through the whole bill.
Agreed with everything you said. My first reaction when I heard this was for my kids. Keeping them safe. My sister called after Beslan to remind me I'm on my nephew's "E" list for school.
As we spoke, the "E" list reasons were not the usual list we discuss, "in case he's sick, or school let's out early," but if there's an attack. That phone call was a sobering reality underscoring the compelling reasons my sister and most of my family are voting/or have voted for President Bush.
No flippant Kerry campaign promise to keep us safe is convincing. He is not the man George W. Bush is, nor will he ever be such a man.
Amen and may God hold them in the palm of His hand.
Brit Hume just played it. Watch the rerun with the Centanni segment.
You are too kind -- but yeah, that would work.
Savage right now is calling for the bombing of Mecca and Medina is a pre-emptive move to force islamic leaders to run down their terrorists and wipe them out.
Only way I would watch ol "Petah" is if he promised to drop trow for longer than 60 secs, and even then, I doubt I would be much impressed.
So, you and I can wait for the net capture, lol...
I bet they were busy showing it to secret focus groups to see if it would hurt Bush before releasing it.

"What idiot CIA organization would not TAKE POSSESION of these tapes? Has the world gone crazy where a filthy TV station can tell our intelligence agency that they can't have the tape threatening a national attack on America????? For pity sakes WHAT THE HELL ARE WE PLAYING AT?"
Relax, the CIA had the full tape before ABC did since it was sent by satellite.
That is how they knew that ABC cut off 15 minutes, and that is how Drudge knew about the tape in the first place.
There is a new marshall in charge of the Farm.
I'm with you! I'm a mother and now a grandmother of a little boy. I voted already for my President Bush. I have no regrets and would vote for him over and over.
I will not be intimidated by knife welding idiots who think they can run the world.
They can take my life but they can't kill my spirit.
Never during the Clinton term, when bin Laden was on his killing sprees, did Kerry attack Clinton for not doing so.
Without a doubt. And do we really want the likes of FnKerry and his 'comrades' in office? I don't think so!
ROFL!!!! That is so funny!!!
Savage is an idiot.
Hey fellow freepers. If it turns out this tape helps Bush get re-elected I think we should make a "thank you tape" to send to the terrorist in the NBC tape.
Great pix!
See number 32.
