Here is a key piece of evidence in the case against American-born Jose Padilla, whose federal trial begins Monday in Miami — an Al Qaeda job application form. (Click [http://abcnews.go.com/images/TheLaw/padilladoc.pdf|here] to read an English translation of the Al Qaeda application, as well as the original Arabic.) The application — obtained by ABC News' Law & Justice Unit — provides a window into a highly sophisticated organization with a corporate structure that resembles that of large American companies. "It's a membership application — just the way you or I would fill out an application for a credit card company,'' said Jack Cloonan, former head of the FBI's Osama bin Laden squad in New York and now an ABC News consultant, who reviewed the document. "They're no different.''Uh-huh. A job application. You have got to be shitting me. You can't expect us to believe this! How absurd is the idea that AQ would need you to fill out an application. THEY'RE TERRORISTS!! And what an incredibly absurd thing for that ABC News consultant to say: "It's a membership application - just the way you or I would fill out an application for a credit card company, They're no different." Yeah, except that the credit card doesn't authorize you for jihad! WTF! But here are some problems I have with the application itself: 1) First off, it doesn't say that it's an Al Qaeda application anywhere. The header on the first page proclaims "IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MERCIFUL, THE COMPASSIONATE, Mujahideen Data Form, New Comers Form" See? It makes no reference to being a form used by the AQ Human Resources department. It's simply a form for freedom fighters (that's what Mujahideen means). Seriously? This form could be for any group, even a few that aren't terrorists. Think I'm kidding about the AQ Human Resources department? Keep reading. 2) Below the header, it actually claims that the form is from "The Military Administration, Personnel Branch". So, according to people claiming this form is legit, AQ does, in fact, have an HR department. 3) This form is supposed to be hypothetical Jose Padilla's application to sign up with AQ and yet it's far from completely filled out. If this guy can't fill out a fracking form how do you think he's going to whip up a dirty bomb to use on innocent folks?? 4) The form actually asks the question "Who referred you to us?" What's even funnier than a terrorist organization asking for the name of the guy who told you about this "way-cool terror group that's fightin' America" is that Padilla answered the question. How do we expect people so stupid as to not cover their tracks to actually threaten us? 5) There's even a section labeled "for administration use." Come on, guys! These are TERRORISTS. Does ANYone really think this application form is legit? I seriously don't. This seems like a fake, to me. Though I'm surely no expert.
