"Osama bin Laden invited two Pakistani atomic scientists to visit a training camp in Afghanistan to discuss how to assemble a bomb using stolen plutonium."
Yes, didn't you find such a public announcement/invitation odd? Do they REALLY need to broadcast it like that? Or did they do it in order to make it clear that when something does happen, they are responsible? Some other reason?
No, I didn't find it odd. UBL and team are always issuing warnings - it's some weird Muslim "cover your ass" thing. They have to get permission from an Iman to kill us, then they have to warn us so we have a chance to give up. Death cults are strange by the very nature of their existence -- beyond that, there's nothing I can say...
