"New" 'Al Qaeda' Tape Released October 2004?
"New" 'Al Qaeda' Tape Released October 2004?

An 'Al Qaeda' videotape featuring the voice of California-born 'Al Qaeda'-connected Adam Gadahn was released by ABC News in October 2004. The 75-minute tape was used by the Bush Administration to stoke public fears of more terrorist attacks (and cost Senator John Kerry votes in the presidential 'election').

This tape appears to have been recently recycled as a Weapon of Mass Distraction. On Sunday, September 11, 2005, ABC News obtained and broadcast a "new" 'Al Qaeda' tape, also featuring the voice of Adam Gadahn. If there are indeed two *different* tapes (as ABC News claims), the key elements from the 2004 Adam Gadahn tape and the 2005 tape are 'strikingly similar.' --Lori Price

1. Time to scare the amuricans again.
Unka Rove thought he'd cry wolf just one time too many.

God, these are the most criminal bastards we've ever had in the so-called government.

7. okay, well today, I really liked that the whole "LA" blackout thing
that WOLFIE was making hay of before he went to the GALLUP "polls" seemed to happen and be resolved without any cabinet members. I liked that. It was refreshing.

10. I thought it was the pre-election tape
It just sounded so familiar.

I noted the reporting of it on Sunday wasn't done, on most
news shows, with much urgency when reported at all.

11. Right, but Bush-co can use it on other occasions. It's like holiday...
tablecloths and china. He brings out the 'Al Qaeda' tapes for 'special occasions,' --plummeting poll numbers and emerging eye-witness accounts of levee explosions. :)

14. And May 2004, after the Gonzales Memo
He was also named in that terror alert when the torture memos came out and the NYTimes did a piece about the torture being more wide spread than just Abu Ghraib. This Gadahn was implicated in that whole hoopla too.

15. This is the most pathetic attempt yet.
Adam Pearlman the Al Qaeda terrorist... yeah right.

Wahabi Muslims recruiting a Jewish kid from Orange County?

(technically his dad's Jewish and his mom isn't. Which traditionally would let Adam off the hook, but given that Al Qaeda's view of Judaism is probably similar to Hitler's, half a Jew is half too much)

If Adam's a terrorist at all, I'd be looking more in the direction of Mossad. Chances are he's just a dumb rich kid looking for attention.

16. Here is my new summary of the article, btw:
'New' Al Qaeda tape broadcast October 2004? 12 Sep 2005 An 'Al Qaeda' videotape featuring the voice of California-born Al Qaeda-connected Adam Gadahn was released by ABC News in October 2004. The 75-minute tape was used by the Bush Administration to stoke public fears of more terrorist attacks (and cost Senator John Kerry votes in the presidential 'election'). This tape appears to have been recently recycled as a Weapon of Mass Distraction. On Sunday, September 11, 2005, ABC News obtained and broadcast a 'new' Al Qaeda tape, also featuring the voice of Adam Gadahn.
