48 Hour Rule In Effect, but...
... I think this might be interesting... Drudge is reporting that ABC was holding onto a terror warning tape they got from someone in Pakistan. He's also reporting that the CIA is analyzing it. But MSNBC is saying that the CIA can't authenticate it and it's a low priority. (Evidently NBC is doing a fine job of fact checking other news organizations. Fine by me.)
So, why the 48 hour rule? Well... since the CIA might not be able to authenticate it, it might be real (and al-Q or one of their thug groups is planning something huge) or it might be an elaborate hoax (and Assam the American is a wannabe). Or, it might be authentic, but there's no way for the CIA to confirm the veracity of the threat. Yeah, we all want it to be a fake- we don't want any more attacks by those freaks. But... they do want to destroy us.
I don't know. I really don't.
