Our folks in the HR department quipped that this really would have been more appropriate for Craigslist or Monster.com. But frankly, the fact that Iraqi insurgents are offering competitive benefits to recruit nuclear scientists just isn't funny.
From the AP:
In a new audio message Thursday, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq called for explosives experts and nuclear scientists to join his group's holy war against the West. "We are in dire need of you," said the man, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir - also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri - the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq.
The field of jihad (holy war) can satisfy your scientific ambitions, and the large American bases (in Iraq) are good places to test your unconventional weapons, whether biological or dirty, as they call them."

Well, why don't our people just abandon their high-paying jobs in fancy labs with nearby strip bars and bacon and eggs breakfasts to go live in a cave...hmmm...nah.
I expect Pakistan is keeping a very close eye on its nuclear scientists. If these guys have to advertise, I would assume Iran told them no already.
Funny.
