The English-speaking terrorists on a new al-Qaida videotape warning of a huge attack appears to be threatening the U.S. with consequences if President Bush is re-elected.
"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," the man says on the tape.
ABC News, which obtained the tape in Pakistan Friday, withheld the final 15 minutes of it from the CIA when it was submitted for analysis, the Drudge Report is reporting.
The newssite says a federal official claims the portion withheld mentioned President Bush and Vice President 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 in English with an American accent.
Drudge claims the FBI and CIA last night authenticated the tape, which includes a dire warning about a serious terror attack, but ABC News says officials have not authenticated it.
ABC News has debated whether or not to air the disturbing footage. Drudge reported the network was struggling to find the correct journalistic "balance" in its response to the tape.
Even so, the network aired parts of the tape today during its nightly newscast.

On the videotape, the man, whose head and face is covered, says, "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead resulting from an attack promised to dwarf 9-11.
" People of America, I remind you of the weighty words of our leaders, Osama bin Laden and Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri, that what took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America," said the man, who is identified only as "Azzam the American." "And that Allah willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about Sept. 11. After decades of American tyranny, now it's your turn to die."
Drudge reports a senior federal official claims ABC was holding back from broadcasting any portion of the video out of fear it will be seen as a political move by the network during election week.
"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," an ABC source explained.
The tape appears to be from al-Qaida's media liaison organization.
Intelligence sources say the man in the tape is college educated, either American born or raised in the U.S. They say he may be a terror suspect named Adam Gadhan, or Adam Pearlman, of Southern California.
On Nov. 3, the President will work on to wipe out this heads wrapped by blankets...
I'm betting... you heard it here first... that someone in the DU / Kerry camp will claim this is an elabrate hoax, done by the Bush team on the eve of the election.
waiting for the democrats to say Rve is behind this....
Have you seen a complete transcript or tape anywhere, yet?
I think this tapw was supposed to be released AFTER the eleciton, and is a threat BECAUSE Bush was re-elected.
Someone already made that leap on Savage this evening.
Nope... hope to see it soon.. this men are throwing a "boomerang"...
And whats with these America hating extremist and the POINTING FINGER?
The guy on the tape reminded me of Fr. Guido Sarducci (from SNL a hundred years ago). I just couldn't take him seriously.
Something about this just doesn't seem right. May be an MSM setup.
Shame on them... why would the Republicans produce such video in Pakistan...
Dan Rather looks kinda goofy with a towel over his head and face.
John Kerry: "To my fellow Americans, this nails are clean"....
Terrorist: "Mine too."
"ABC News, which obtained the tape in Pakistan Friday, withheld the final 15 minutes of it from the CIA when it was submitted for analysis, the Drudge Report is reporting."
As far as I'm concerned, withholding anything makes them co-conspirators. I would like to see a very public Perp Walk with leg irons and waist chains of EVERYONE in the corporation. EVERYONE! Mail-boy to CEO.
Any american that works for such an orgianization is a criminal.
Didn't he pronounce it "tieranny"?
Is that a Boston type pronunciation or something?
I'll give 'em a middle finger right back, and tell 'em to KISS my As-Sahab!!!!
VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!
Well if that video is from Hollywood, directed by MSM Films International, that would be a big blow against the RATS... because Americans knew GWB is the only leader that can deal with these craps... Not Bad...
AMEN....
bush's reelection is what terrorists everywhere fear.
VIVA BUSH!!!!!!
I dont think that sounds "Boston"... that terrorist might be a "mongoloid"...so pathetic..
