The trial of an Australian renegade named Joseph Thomas, who is accused of working with Al Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan, may have revealed that Osama bin Laden is trying to recruit Caucasians.
Western intelligence services are increasingly nervous about al-Qaida attempts to recruit white men and women, as they can more easily pass in Western society.
Australia's Herald Sun reported that an ongoing court case in Melbourne uncovered an al-Qaida attempt to recruit Caucasian "sleeper agents."
Australian defendant Joseph Thomas told his police interrogators that Khalid bin Attash, an associate of Osama bin Laden, said that bin Laden was interested in having "an Aussie ... a white boy," according to testimony in Melbourne's Supreme Court.
Prosecutor Nick Robinson alleged that Thomas's conversations with bin Attash occurred in Pakistan, where Thomas was staying at an al-Qaida safe house after training at the group's al-Farooq camp in Afghanistan during 2001.
Presumably, the Caucasians would be mercenaries. Anyone care to bet that there aren't plenty of whites willing to help out AQ for enough green?

I'm white. I'm asleep. Where do I sign up?

I think you have to fill out an application at the ACLU.

Of course, it's not just mercs that we have to watch out for. Actually, white hardcore leftist ideologues who have already made common cause with Islamists against the U.S. might be even more likely aQ candidates, especially once it dawns on them that they have zero chance of actually getting their way via the political process.

Sounds like a good opportunity to get the CIA inside to me. That would solve that pesky problem with your best agent not having the same color skin. I'm sure we have Muslims on the inside but we hear about too many cases of them being exposed to the dark side of their own religion and turning on us. I'm sure a vast majority of the Muslim CIA agents are doing good work but one bad one is too many.

Jayna Davis explores recruitment of 'lily white' candidates in her book "The Third Terrorist".
Immortalizing the Oklahoma City bombing as an act committed by two lily white home grown anti-government discontents has shown how successful this tactic is. Certainly the FBI, congress, federal and state justice departments saw no cause to explore 22 well corroborated eye witness accounts to counter preconceived ( or should that be PC)notions.
Just ask Hussain Hashem Al Hussaini (the third terrorist) or any of his cohorts . . . like Majid Ajaj, Dr. Anwar Abdul, Ali Kamel, Adnon Khan, Rizwan Sidiqqi, etc. etc.

All they need do is post at www.stormfront.org, and they'll find all the Jew-hating nazi's they could want, or just go to Kos, where they all cross-post.

Sorry slug, I didn't realize you were one of those people who think the CIA still do something other than watch '24' reruns and leak secrets.

It seems to me that about 99% of whites are sleeping here in the US. I wonder what the hell it will take to wake them up.

Other than some Kosovars and Albanians they are not having much luck.
