On the August 16 edition of ABC's World News, anchor Charles Gibson reported that "Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen from Chicago, was convicted today of supporting terrorism," without noting the controversial history surrounding Padilla's detention. Gibson reported that Padilla's case "symbolized the Bush administration's attempt to prevent homegrown terror," and that Padilla "was originally accused of plotting with Al Qaeda to detonate a radioactive dirty bomb, but that charge was dropped." Gibson then reported that "[a]fter a three-month trial in Miami," Padilla was found "[g]uilty of conspiracy to kidnap, murder, and maim people overseas and of material support for terrorism" and "could get life in prison." But contrary to Gibson's claim, Padilla was never "charge[d]" in relation to the alleged "dirty bomb" plot. Instead, as NBC legal correspondent Pete Williams reported during the same night's edition of NBC's Nightly News, President Bush originally "declared" Padilla, a U.S. citizen, "an enemy combatant" and held him "in a Navy brig for more than three years" without charges. It was only after Padilla appealed to the Supreme Court, claiming that he was being unconstitutionally detained, that he was criminally indicted.

One of the main things that set ABC News apart from its contemporaries is the “broadcast model” that they use in their news specials. These shows, which began running on evening television, were longer news segments or in depth stories based upon an event, series of events, or a person. The other main news networks have recently begun to do the same thing during their evening programming as well. The idea behind ABC News special reports was to conduct news programs that a person could get interested in depth with, and allow people ample viewing time as well.

Last night, the lead story on ABC's "World News" was an exclusive report on how the "CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert 'black' operation to destabilize the Iranian government." You can read about it here, and watch it here. Then again, maybe you shouldn’t. According to many of the commenters at ABC News' "The Blotter" – around 1,500 at last count – running the report was "traitorous" because it revealed a secret U.S. government action.
