Any DUers Speak Arabic? If so, please help "Rathergate" ABC tonight

[berni_mccoy]

We need anyone who can speak arabic to listen VERY CAREFULLY in order to find any consistency problems with the tapes being aired tonight on ABC. We want to hold ABC accountable just like the freepers did to CBS.

1. I do - well, I can understand it more than speak it.

What is the show and what time is it on?

5. It's on NIGHTLINE tonight (not sure of the time, check local listings)

Here's the link: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Investigation/story?id=1616996

2. The tapes are of Hussein saying Iraq WOULD NOT attack the USA.

They are of Hussein saying he'd warned US and the UK that terrorism would hit them sooner or later, and he also says it wouldn't be Iraq attacking America. (imo he's referring to Saudi...and gee guess what.)

Also note; these tapes (from early 1990s) were STOLEN from the FBI, who are currently investigating to find out who stole them when & how.

3. I thought it was Rove's plants who figured out the Rather thing.

The Freepers don't deserve credit for something Rove basically made happen.

4. Thanks for posting this ...

... I've been thinking about it all day - but still not clever enough to send up a flare to my fellow DUers.

Great catch, berni_mccoy!

6. It's a sham anyway

How many minutes of actual tape will they play? 5 or 10 if that? There were 12 hours of tapes for whomever to cherry pick and edit to get just the right "flavor" for their purposes.

7. We Must Be Prepared to HOLD BRIAN ROSS ACCOUNTABLE...

Suggested DU Project... DEMAND THE RESIGNATION OF BRIAN ROSS?
