HELP WANTED

Al-Qaeda seeks motivated Jihadists with specialized training. Are you a physicist? Nuclear scientist? Resident Explosives expert?

Tired of the same old grind in your government-run labs? We need you and will pay handsomely for your expertise!

Apply in person, no phone calls or emails accepted. Ask for Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, a.k.a. Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

On a serious note, this is the one part of the piece that irritated me most. It's one thing to be condescended to, it's another to be condescended to by a murderous thug:

On the tape, al-Masri offered amnesty to Iraqis who cooperated with their country's "occupiers," calling on them to "return to your religion and nation" during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which Sunnis began observing in Iraq on Saturday and Shiites on Monday.

"We will not attack you as long as you declare your true repentance in front of your tribe and relatives," al-Masri said. "The amnesty ends by the end of this holy month."

If I were an Iraqi, that would have me phoning these people in to Security Forces left and right.
