OH THERE IT IS!!! October 29, 2004, a mere four days from the election! Released in time to heat up the spin for Bush, but not enough time for Kerry to point out that it's a plant, intended to draw the (non-existent) connections between Al Qaeda/Bin Laden and Saddham--it's the
American Al Qaeda.

Think about it:

It's in English--no translation required, and the accent is American.

It "reached" ABC News just in time for them to study it for a while (with the CIA) and now it has been sent to the FBI. This thing has just gone into play, and will remain so for weeks to come.

How long have they had it? Rove probably sat on this for weeks, timing it just so the damage control Kerry might attempt won't go into play for the millions of uniformed Americans who don't get their news from credible sources and who don't think about timing and about the spin on a story.

Shame on ABC News for falling into Rove's trap even more neatly than Dan Rather at CBS did.

It was probably taped BY the CIA for Bush just for this occasion.

That's it, in a nutshell. Gotta take my kiddo to school. Let's just see how this little Karl Rove stink bomb mushrooms, shall we?
