Terror Video
Posted by Atrios
Frankly, as far as I'm concerned ABC should pre-empt their prime time broadcast and show the whole damn thing. Go ahead and remind people that Bush diverted attention to Iraq and let a bunch of terrorists thrive in Pakistan/Afghanistan border areas. But, the real story here isn't the existence of a rather bizarre video, it's the fact that someone in the Department of Homeland Security or other federal agency is leaking to Drudge to put pressure on ABC to get them to run it. Now, that's truly scary. Anyway, am I the only one who remembers the good old days when broadcasting these types of videos were thought to be a threat to national security? When Condi and the gang warned that the people on the videos could be sending "secret codes" to terrorists around the world, and they leaned on the networks to not broadcast them. At the time I thought those were just attempts to throw their muscle around, to prove they could, but they claimed they were serious. But, now we have someone involved with our national security leaking this stuff to an online gossip in order to put pressure on a major broadcaster. That's a story.
And, I'm sure that Drudge's magical source within ABC is VRWC player and ABC Producer Chris Vlasto...
You can find Drudge on your own.
...Fox runs it, freepers
confused by "gay" terrorist...
...and, thank you Drudge for hyping ABC on the night they do a slam dunk piece on the al qa qaa explosives...
