"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.

Okay. I am really starting to think this tape is a hoax and whoever is on it filched the Sahab banner to make it look authentic. This sounds like every dempundit on TV and calling talk radio. Plus, an English tape with arabic subtitles? This sounds like a joke. I hope I am right - the alternative is they follow through with these (lamely put) threats and people die.

You're surprised the terrorists have adopted the DNC's talking points just before an election?

Think it through. It makes perfect sense that they would do this.

I'm starting to wonder if we're being set up in a Dem October Surprise... or maybe I'm just way too paranoid.

What about this scenario:

-A lot of people are demanding it be aired.

-ABC makes it appear it doesn't want to.

-It gets aired.

-Then Monday, the guy who made the tape announces that the Republicans put him up to it to scare people into voting for Bush.

-All day Mon and Tues., the MSM is telling everyone Bush fabricated the story in order to be re-elected.

-The day after the election, after the damage has been done, the guy says he was lying and Bush wasn't behind it, but Kerry's elected. The guy, in effect, falls on the sword to get Kerry elected.

... And we've all been had ... Big Time.
