Al qaeda and cigarettes

MANIFESTO

Tobacco companies have always had to be aggressive in their advertising because their customers kept dying. It looks like al Qaeda may have found itself in the same boat as it relates to its zealous members.

For months now, counterterrorism officials have seen signs that al-Qaida has been looking for new and innovative ways to recruit terrorists, including a new manual that has surfaced on the Internet ... The book is so basic it seems to suggest al-Qaida is getting desperate for new members.

No surprise there, as its former members kept blowing themselves up.
