"..........A bureaucratic malignancy out of control, the organization continued to grow in power and personnel. Then the expansion unexpectedly tapered off and stopped. CII computers informed its leaders of a remarkable fact: its losses of personnel abroad were just breaking even with its ambitious recruiting operations at home. A team of analysts from Information Limited was brought in to study the astonishing attrition. They discovered that 36 percent of the losses were due to defection; 27 percent were caused by mishandling of punched computer cards (which losses they advised CII to accept because it was easier to write the men off than to reorganize Payroll and Personnel Division); 4 percent of the losses were attributed to inadequate training in the handling of explosives; and 2 percent were simply "lost"—victims of European railroad schedules........."

From the book, "The Eiger Sanction" by Trevanian

If he blows his balls off what happens to his 72 allotted virgins?

Do they go back into the batting order or do they stay virgins forever?

Jim Kenney will be announcing shortly that this had nothing to do with Islam whatsoever, the teachings of Islam, or any of the followers of Islam.

Just a reminder that explosives are completely unforgiving of any mistakes. Practice is better then prayer any day.

So you don't know how the Mossad managed to pull off 9/11, but you stated it was a fact. Facts have proof. Where's yours? Any information at all?
