The fun never stops

So terrorists have made a tape threatening bad things if Bush and Cheney win the election. Go see Ace's take, in which he points out, "Kinda shoots to hell John Kerry's argument that Bush hasn't been effective against Al Qaeda. Apparently Al Qaeda begs to differ."

There's more. From the original Drudge story:

"The CIA and FBI have authenticated a new al Qaeda videotape which warns of retribution for Americans electing Bush and Cheney.

"'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.'

"The alarming tape which warns the next terror attack will dwarf 9/11.

"The CIA and FBI late Wednesday authenticated the tape, federal sources tell DRUDGE.

"ABCNEWS, which obtained the tape from a source in Pakistan, has been informed of the government's standing.

"A top goverment source said from Washington that ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the feds -- the portion of the tape where the man warns of retribution for Americans electing Bush and Cheney.

"'The FBI did not see the last 15 mins,' the source claims.

"ABC stongly denies the charge."

(emphasis mine)

Of course they do. And if true, it looks a lot like they were hiding it to prevent Kerry from being negatively impacted at the polls by any implication that terrorists prefer Kerry. Which is not really a surprise, unless you didn't know that this is what he meant when he said he had the support of foreign leaders.
