Al Qaeda Member Turns Himself In
Edited on Wed May-04-11 08:59 PM by Skip_In_Boulder
Let's see how the baggers spin this assuming it's true.

Saudi Arabia says an al-Qaida member on the kingdom’s most wanted list called from abroad and turned himself in.

Interior Ministry’s spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said in a statement Wednesday that Khaled Hathal Abdullah al-Atifi al-Qahtani contacted the security authorities from an undisclosed country and expressed his wish to come home....

Al-Qahtani was reunited with his family and his surrender will be taken into consideration while looking into his case, Al-Turki said....

Al-Qahtani is apparently the first al-Qaida operative to surrender after its leader Osama bin Laden was killed on Monday.

2. Yeah, I know exactly how they'll spin it:
Um, uh...well THANK GOD for President GEORGE W. BUSH! He made this all possible! Somehow!

That really is their last line of defense.

4. I heard from a local news show
that he had decided that a career in accounting made more sense at this point. (No, I'm not making this up) I think the word is getting out that we acquired a lot of computer equipment and flash drives and that may be giving some people cause for pause.
