The Strange Case of Balochistan Bryant.

Some suburbanite kids fall in with a bad crowd and smoke pot or steal car stereos. Others fall in with a bad crowd and join al Qaeda.

I did find this blurb from the article interesting:
With his travel plans made, Vinas seemed happier. Kuilan recalled Vinas' "whole demeanor lightened up."

Acevedo remembered going to a gun range with Vinas.

"We probably shot a good 200 rounds," he recalled. "He just felt free."
Yeah, that's often ominous foreshadowing in my life, too. Usually right after I leave the range, I go join an Islamic terrorist cell and blow myself up. Sometimes twice in the same weekend.

Perhaps sometime you could do a fashion post, about how you select your burkas. :-/

Given the success rate of recent attempts, that is more that possible.

His freaking out over FEMA camp rumors seemed sorta familiar....

Am I the only one who, until a double-take was completed, thought dude's name was Avocado?

Nope, I did, too. I thought that food aliases were a bit corny, though.

I used to know someone named Acevedo, so I parse it okay at a glance. (But I did that her name the first time I saw it written down.)

Just stop that. You know you can't blow yourself up twice.
