Got a taste for adventure, an unquenchable religious fervor and a willingness to trade in the corner office for a cave?
Then al Quaida has the job for you!That Tuesday
Following a drone strike in Pakistan, the media is reporting the death of Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, also known as Sheikh Saeed al-Masri. As a founding member of al-Quaida and third in command behind Osama bin Ladin and Ayman al-Zawahiri, Masri was characterized variously as the organizations's Chief Financial Officer and its Chief Operations Officer.
So what does a terrorist CEO actually do?
Multitask.
Al-Quaida is far less centralized than in its pre-9/11 heyday, when it had an official finance comittee (headed by Masri), but it still operates in many ways like a company--a franchiser, to be more specific.
Groups wanting to be part of al-Quaida have to undergo a fairly rigorous application process: they have to carry out acts of terrorism, publicly praise al-Quaida leaders and hew their ideology to that of the "parent company"....

Pray for the families of the victims.
And kill all the pigs who murdered them in cold blood.
I get like this in the fall. Have for the last nine years.
