Secret Saddam Hussein WMD tapes to be revealed tonight. Cheney not involved.

(Hat tip to Doowleb who originally sent me hints of this story a couple days ago when originally reported in the New York Sun).

I’d be a lot happier if this was was being shown on Fox News Channel because they’d present an objective story, but it might be worth suffering through a viewing of ABC News’ Nightline this evening to check it out, if only to buff-up on the latest anti-Bush liberal media rhetoric.  (Then switch back to NBC’s Olympics coverage or Fox News Channel). 

Secret Saddam WMD Tapes Subject of ABC Nightline Special

Secret audiotapes of Saddam Hussein discussing ways to attack America with weapons of mass destruction will be the subject of an ABC “Nightline” program Wednesday night, a former federal prosecutor told Cybercast News Service.

The panel’s chairman, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), declined to give the Sun details of the content or context of the recordings, saying only that they were provided to his committee by former federal prosecutor John Loftus.

Loftus has been tight-lipped about the tapes, telling the Sun only that he received them from a “former American military intelligence analyst.”

On Tuesday night, Loftus told Cybercast News Service that ABC’s “Nightline” would air an “extensive report” on the tapes Wednesday night. Loftus also described an ABC News “teaser,” which reportedly contains audio of Saddam Hussein discussing ways to attack America with WMD. “Nightline will have a lot more,” said Loftus.

Loftus is president of The Intelligence Summit. Its advisory council includes generals, a former F.B.I. official, a former senior Israeli Mossad officer and the former chair of the British Joint Intelligence Committee, according to information posted on the summit website. Currently a private attorney, Loftus says he works pro bono to help intelligence agents obtain lawful permission to declassify and publish the “hidden secrets of our times.” […]
