MIA DC Muslim 5: "al-Qaeda's Crown Jewels"

MIA DC Muslim 5

Not much to report on the fate of the DC Muslim 5 (shown above), today. Although, I thought this comment from Rick Nelson of the CSIS very succinctly sums up the public relations and operational value of these douchebags to al Qaeda.

Per ABC News:

Rick Nelson, a senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said he sees these homegrown terrorists as "sort of the the crown jewel for international terrorist organizations like al Qaeda."

"To be able to get someone who can put a Western face on radical Islamic terrorism, someone who has the ability as a legal U.S. resident to travel fairly freely throughout the world with a passport makes them a very, very useful tool," Nelson said.

They are indeed tools, that's for darned sure.
