five-page handwritten document found in Atta's luggage

Washington Post ^

[VaBthang4]

Reminders to bring "knives, your will, IDs, your passport" and, finally, "to make sure that nobody is following you."

"be optimistic."

"Everybody hates death, fears death," "But only those, the believers who know the life after death and the reward after death, would be the ones who will be seeking death."

"The last night."

[Alberta's Child]

What's this? Nothing about 72 virgins waiting for them when they get to heaven?

[Utah Girl]

Did you notice who broke this story? Bob Woodward, no less. They must have dragged him out from the basement there or something. I haven't read anything by him for forever.

[Arkinsaw]

Handwritten eh? Maybe his pop will stop spouting off about how his son would never do such a thing.

[CheneyChick]

May they all rot in hell.

[arielb]

these guys get their biggest orgasm by the thought they are about to kill thousands of innocent people

[PRND21]

What a sales pitch.
I'm glad our boys don't need sweet talk to do their duty.

[looscannon]

Attaboy, how in Hell are you doing?

[lowbridge]

"I pray to you God to forgive me from all my sins, to allow me to glorify you in every possible way."

God does not forgive the sins you committed AFTER asking for his forgiveness for PAST sins, moron.

Have a nice eternity burning in hell, bastard.

I say we petition the government to have his remains wrapped up in pigskin and then bury it in an unmarked grave.

[SvenGolly]

Latest word from Afghanistan is that some of the 72 virgins have been observed packing condoms and disappearing into the hills.

[Sooner]

"Make sure that you are clean, your clothes are clean, including your shoes."

I bet this was a tough one!

[ladyinred]

How odd, it seems they needed a little encouragement to carry out their own deaths. The really sick thing is, their leaders are still alive. They lie to these smucks and tell them they will be in paradise, etc. in order to get them to carry out their murdering dirty work. Don't see Bin Laden hurrying to his reward do we?

[Travis McGee]

I think this is the oblique ref to the virgins:

"only those, the believers who know the life after death and the reward after death, would be the ones who will be seeking death."

What kind of sick religion promises an eternity of orgies with young virgins as a reward for committing mass murder in their dark god's name anywhay?

[boltfromblue]

Wonder if Atta, who was not brainwashed as he did the brainwashing, was late and sweating because he had hesitated.

[dougherty]

I've already said this, and I'll say it again: this is one sick, brainwashing cult. I hope they enjoy their time in Hell.

[alithia]

unfortunately there don't seem to be remains at all for about 6000 people.

[Int]

I being a sinner

That one's correct

[onyx]

Moqued doesn't look like an Arab, does he?

[Hillary 666]

You are absolutely correct, Utah Girl. Bob Woodward has a very interesting pattern of producing interviews given by controversial people who have just died. He has "found" this many times in his "journalist's" books.

[Travis McGee]

"Purify your heart and clean it from all earthly matters. The time of fun and waste has gone.

It doesn't matter if you spent your last months in America going to stripper clubs getting lap dances with a bottle of scotch in your hand, if you die killing infidels, you are guaranteed the trip to paradise and the 72 virgins.

Pretty good deal, eh?

[okie01]

One wonders if there was any other information in the five pages that wasn't released.

Like, say, the names of their contacts and controllers. Or "Mr. Big"...

If the pages are handwritten, and identical letters were found on two separate flights, somebody dictated the content of these "prayers" and the check list. Probably somebody who wasn't on any of the four planes...

[Utah Girl]

Something just doesn't jive in his article. Maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight this evening.

[CheneyChick]

Hmm, I don't know, but that Atta is one freaky-@$$ dude.

[onyx]

I read the entire article and the first thing I noticed was "Bob Woodward, Staff Writer/Reporter." The greedy b@stard will likely write a book about the 19 miscreants.

[tracer]

Maybe he doesn't like girls.....

[PRND21]

From the pictures, he's the only "evil" and nervous looking character.
I'll bet he hesitated plenty.
The Islamic Jim Jones.

[CheneyChick]

It makes you wonder if there was a #20 that chickened out on UA flt. 93.

[LarryLied]

Right. Woodward's pal, Bernstein, is CPUSA all the way. Bob is the front man.

[stubernx98]

Maybe they lied to their diaries.

[onyx]

Reportedly, United 93 was supposed to include the Algerian currently jailed in Minnesota.

[Roy Tucker]

Anything Bob Woodward writes should be filed under "Fiction"

[piasa]

Their bosses ought to think about what they have to promise to get such devotion from their people- and compare that to what SEALs will do just for a watermelon. And then pray real hard. ; )

[Alberta's Child]

Definition of JUSTICE -- killing yourself while crashing a plane into a building full of people in the name of Allah, only to go to heaven and find out that the 72 virgins are all young men.

Unless you are Andrew Cunanan, of course, in which case this would REALLY be heaven.

[Alberta's Child]

But you've never heard them uttered by a Christian who was preparing to crash a 767 into the side of a building.

[dougherty]

You know, I don't think the virgins are the main reason why they are so eager to go to their deaths. They are so brainwashed they believe they are serving their God and Islam by doing these acts, they think they are going to be martyrs. The virgins in paradise are just one little part of it, they're so brainwashed they think the whole thing was heroic. Sick, sick people, and I hope the leaders that are alive and are responsible for turning these guys into killing machines are caught and tortured.

Did anyone catch Primetime Live tonight? There was a former member of bin Laden's organization on and he had been brainwashed and could no longer tolerate the evilness, so he got out.

[tracer]

Nice photo array. It occurred to me that we could raise a lot of money by selling bubble gum with terrorist trading cards.

I can hear it now: "I'll trade you two Al-Shehhi's for one Atta."

I heard that McDonald's is going to serve their drinks in plastic cups with a different terrorist's picture on each one.....

[PumaMan]

You have to be convinced that those few hours that are left you in your life are very few.

Wow, he's a worthless mass murdering bastard AND he's got atrocious writing skills. Proofread for redundancies next time, idiot. Oh, wait...

So who was Deep Throught?

[dougherty]

The Islamic Jim Jones.

LOL. True, how true.

[Hillary 666]

Well, if you're crazy, then 20,000 of us are, too.

Atta is in hell getting poked in the ass by a pitchfork right now. I'll bet he is bummed that he devoted his life to nothing.

[Swede Girl]

The ONLY solution is reeducation of the society that can spawn this fervor. In this culture they TEACH children to hate.

I suppose our equivalent here might be the KKK. They have never been angels and are a national disgrace, but I do not think that they would commit mass suicide in this way for their cause.

I believe we should challenge the Muslims to start working on cleaning up their act by eliminating the extremists among them. They should target the lifestyle and mindset that spawns this type of terroist behavior. Germany and Japan were able to clean out their fanatics after WWII....the Arab world needs to do this, too.....and now!

[Hammerhead]

So I keep thinking, a terrorist's heaven is another virgins hell? Huh? Im confused. Help me out here people.

A gutter religion for swine.

[WRhine]

Atta was brainwashed too. If he wasn't I am sure he never would have got on that flight. He was, it appears, the taskmaster of this murderous gang of evil doers. The guy who is not brainwashed is Bin Laden. That coward is shaking in his camel skin boots these days. We might actually catch this creep alive because Bin Laden shows every sign of wanting to stay here on this earth. The very fact that he denied he had anything to do with the 9/11 massacre proves that he is no hurry to meet Allah. We are going to have a lot of fun with this turkey if we get him alive.

[BunnySlippers]

This will make a very convenient dart board ... thanks!

[Utah Girl]

These terrorists are also promised that their names will be written in all mosques and that they will be venerated by all Islams. By killing the infidel Christian, they believe they are bringing honor to their families and country. Little boys are being taught this (brainwashed). Pretty sick.

[WRhine]

Nice photo array. It occurred to me that we could raise a lot of money by selling bubble gum with terrorist trading cards.

Good one. You have an enterprising mind. LOL.
