My wife has some climbing roses on our back deck/patio with thorns that make rusty railroad spikes look like toys.
Thank you! Remember the clips of John Walker Lindh? He was a Californian, and when captured he spoke with a Middle Eastern accent!
I think ABC is trying to find excuses as to why the tape isn't real.
People who spend a lot of time in other countries unconsciously alter their accent. I think ABC is grasping at anything to make the tape look fake.
Hard to say... Technically, we're not at war, since no declaration of war has been passed by congress since WWII, so I don't think that the treason portion of the Constitution could be invoked.
On the other hand, if there were any sort of an attack, and it's proven that ABC held anything back, they would certainly be open to all sorts of civil suits, which would completely destroy the network financially... And of course, the share-holders could sue the board of directors.
But I honestly don't know if this sort of thing would really be "illegal."

On the other hand if AQ or allies made such a tape surely they want it publicized. Then why was it not given to Al Jazira?
If ABC were so nuts to hold something back, I would hope that there would be at least one person who would have the integrity to do the right thing, and leak the news.
If there's a threat against the US if President Bush is reelected, and ABC were to hold that back, there would be no doubt that it would have been done for partison politcal purposes, i.e. helping to get Kerry elected.
I'm hoping that if ABC really did that, that there would be at least one person at ABC with a concience, putting the USA (and the lives of the citizens) before the DNC.

Whomever is the terrorist in the video, he's not a skinny little man.
If you look at his hands theyre fleshy and large and his head looks large and round, not thin.
Yes Im obsessing.
"Roosevelt died during his third term."
No, he died a few months into his fourth.
Now that I think about it, Although I'm a "northerner"
It's possible I'd say it like that after a couple beer too!
Maybe not.. Hmm, now you got my wondering (wun der in')
Don't forget George Clooney, Tim Robbins, Dave Matthew's band...
Actually, that's not true. Although we haven't been "at war" since 1945, there have been elections while we've been fighting.
Had Roosevelt lost an election before he died, he would have been replaced. Same with Lincoln, and any other president we've had.
I've got my dates sort of screwed up... Was the Korean war over when IKE was elected? Well, we know for a fact that Nixon was elected during Viet Nam.

Tie Rann ee, Tie runn ee is more south in my opinion.
And for those who don't know, that guy was not small, he looked to be about 220 or so, but couldn't grow a good beard, more neck hair but nothing on the cheeks.
Google the name, you will find his pic. Try Jihad watch
Oh I know that, exactly.
But you can't pull a President out of office during war time, and if they hit us between now and January, President Bush would have to stay in his seat.
Someone else posted that it came to ABC via satellite. And the CIA would automatically have a copy, and they were probably waiting for ABC to come clean about the remaining 15 minutes. I guess ABC thought better of it, and fessed up.
Shoot the traitor on sight, I say.
Dave,
I pray to God that you are correct. But I do not trust the MSM, the leftist lawyers that do their bidding or the Clinton appointed judges that will give them cover. It is a tremendous up hill battle.
In banana republics this sort of thing that leads to violent civil war or a coup. The banana republic road is the one the leftist want us to travel.
Did I mention that the 7mm mag IS my favorite weapon?
>>I still would like to know who would have the nerve to LEAK something like this?!<<
Anyone with courage and integrity. It is not hard for me to believe at all.
Well, Rosevelt and Truman are a little before my time, but I do remember now about Nixon and the Viet Nam war. But it is really insane to remove a President during war time. I just can't believe they would do that.
I'm just praying for a landslide on Tuesday! That would be the best way to go.
no, there's no such law that Bush gets to stay President if they hit us between now and January. That isn't true. Not if he loses this election. A new President is sworn in if that person wins, war or terror attack or whatever. I know you repeated this statement in your reply to me, and you sound so sure of it. Believe me, it's not so. Ask someone else if you don't take my word for it.
That was a stupid remark on my part. I got nervous.
Someone said that since it was sent to ABC via satellite, then the CIA did have a copy, and they were waiting for ABC to fess up. ABC had no choice, I guess.
