I just hope that Drudge will release the nature of his source, otherwise we will have conspiracy theories flying around that the White House leaking this news, and of course the White House could have no idea what the ABC tape did or did not contain.

I take it that this means it's a "If you elect Bush Cheney the blood will run in your streets" threat.... BRING IT ON ABC....WE CAN HANDLE IT

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, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

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.

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.

As if this isnt sick enough as it is, the fact that it is likely an "American" stating this just makes it all the more disturbing.

Damn...now how would a "top government source" know what had been withheld by ABC? I wish Drudge had elaborated so as to avoid conjecture and conspiracy theories.

This is another in a long line of turncoats/traitors. Benedict Arnold comes to mind a first. There were Tokyo Rose and Lord Ha-Ha in WW2, probably other broadcasters I don't recall at the moment. Now, the War on Terrorism, or World War 4, has Ahmed the American, or whatever he calls himself. Capital punishment was designed for these low-lifes.

Most of America would agree with you...Kerry and his ilk have always strongly opposed the death penalty! We could never trust Kerry to be tough on terrorism...he must never be CnC!!

A Nameless ABC spokesperson says the FBI & CIA got 100% of the tape. Who knows. It is going to be interesting to see if they show it. I doubt it.

It seems to me that if shown, millions of eyes and ears would increase the odds that someone out there may be able to identify the speaker. ABC would rather take the chance that nothing will happen, than see W re-elected.

What the idiot on the tape doesn't seem to realize...

The United States is not Spain.

Showing the tape here will have the opposite effect.

So, they will not show the last fifteen minutes, so what is this?

"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.

They have shown the only part they really want the public to see.
the fact they can blame the president and the rest of them. If the
last fifteen minutes is rougher than these comments, maybe it should
not be seen, but if it will help Kerry they will show it.

They are now playing cute waiting for the press and people to
make a issue of it being shown and "low and behold, election eve
is the best time for them"


Getting another letter off to them for their usual bias, and asking how
this video was timed, just five days before the election? Watch for
the showing being shown on election eve, unless it hurts Kerry.

Fox News just showed a couple of clips from the video tape on Brit Hume's show.
