Jose Padilla: Terrorist (Honest!)

ABCNews:

Federal investigators say they have evidence that former Chicago street gang member Jose Padilla was a higher ranking member of Al Qaeda than first thought... now U.S. prosecutors believe Padilla was operating at a much higher level than just an advance man for Al Qaeda.
[]
Federal authorities say evidence now shows that Padilla had had risen in Al Qaeda's ranks to have personal relationships with the top planners of the September 11th attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.
[]
But authorities say Padilla's connection to the upper crust of Al Qaeda is best found in his activities with three of the organization's top terrorists. The night before leaving for Chicago they threw him a bon voyage dinner -- hosted by the men considered to be the 9/11 masterminds.

arghhhh. these people drive me insane.

remember when they found his al'qaeda application form? That was perhaps the finest moment these clowns have ever given us.

JesusGeneral was able to get his hands on a copy of that document, thank goodness.
