<<<The problem, say ABC News executives, is that they can't determine whether the tape, obtained by a producer, involves a real threat -- or even the identity of the figure on it, a man wearing an ammunition belt and a headdress that obscures his face. The network enlisted the aid of the FBI and CIA but still can't authenticate the 75-minute videotape.>>> A masked man with gun- that could be the Lone Ranger The addition of shadowed figure and an automatic weapon to go along the words does not make the words any truer than that of thousands of threats being investigated by the authorities today. It just makes the display more emotional, not more real. And the public is more sensitive at this moment than they were a week ago despite the fact that carrying out threat today would be no worse than if it had already occurred. Without any verification, the tape should not be aired. Sig
