Do we really want any news source in the U.S. to give air time to world terrorists to blast their threats about an election?

What about next time? Five terrorists make ads threatening whatever on an election result?

We should not provide air time that allows terrorists to become a part of our elections. In fact, it should be a law because there will always be the odd station wanting an exclusive no matter what it does to our American freedoms.

I tend to agree...dont give them the forum. Just knowing it's out there and what is says is enough to make anyone shudder at the thought of a sKerry win.

Good in theory, impractical in terms of administration and application. Who decides what we can and cannot see? The Government? The MSM? With the Internet and other communications technology you can't hold back the tide of information with a law.

I'm not sure I fault ABC for not airing the video. That's a different discussion.

But do fault them for not giving the whole tape to the CIA. If this is story is true, which is still hard for me to believe.
