The document, a computer generated memo to the faithful translated from the Arabic, which was unearthed by Pakistani security forces, at a "hard-line Islamic religious school" during their renewed activity of the last several weeks in the tribal border areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan, also provides a rather salient history of the first two years of the global war on terror, from the enmies point of view, of course.
