The Democratic National Committee released on Saturday a video running approximately 18 mins in length purporting to show a speech by Sen Hillary Rodham Clinton. Its authenticity could not be immediately confirmed. In fact there was some question raised as to when and where the tape had been made. Sen Clinton was shown not in typical Senate surroundings, but in a casual living room setting with the outdoors visible through a window in the background. Presumably the announcement was shot in one of Hillary's homes, Chappaqua or Georgetown. But there is no mention on the tape of recent events, and some experts were of the opinion that the recording was old and had not been made recently.

On the tape the speaker, tentatively identified as Sen Clinton, is shown exhorting her followers and making attacks on President Bush and other US government officials. The tape ends with the threat of her own intentions to run for president, and a list of forthcoming steps that she would be taking in that direction. A CIA spokesman said while they had no specific reason to doubt that the person on the tape is in fact Hillary Rodham Clinton, they would have a higher degree of confidence in its authenticity after performing a voice and facial analysis.
