A fascinating nugget comes from an unnamed senior U.S. official in a story today by ABC’s Jake Tapper.

This is a curious detail, suggesting that some time and somewhere black al Qaeda recruits are voicing discontent about a lack of equal opportunity to participate in mass murder and that U.S. intelligence has picked up such chatter.
