If this is true, what references does al Qaeda require for someone to be brought in as a suicide bomber?
Idiots.
Al Queda must think these guys are CIA plants, and even with bonifides they probably wouldn’t accept them, just because they could be CIA. They have to tell the guys, like Nidal Hassan, to prove their worth to the cause elsewhere, like back home in Virginia/DC/Ft Hood/Ft Lewis/etc. areas....much better for Al Queda if these guys are sincere to have them blow up US targets.
