SMOKING GUN – AT 8:22 A.M. ET:  The Feds have released the note found in a boat where one of the two Boston Marathon terrorists hid.  It proves the point that these were jihadists, and that they must be considered part of a worldwide movement.  From The Hill:

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev expressed anger at the United States and jealousy that his brother had died a martyr in a note written while hiding from authorities, according to court documents released Wednesday.

Officials found the note Tsarnaev wrote in a boat he hid in just before he was captured last year following the deadly Boston Marathon bombing.

His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who prosecutors say planned the attack with him, had just died. The younger Tsarnaev wrote that his brother’s soul was still alive and that he was in the Islamic paradise.
“I’m jealous of my brother who ha[s] [re]ceived the reward of jannutul Firdaus (inshallah) before me. I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive,” wrote Tsarnaev.

“God has a plan for each person. Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions,” he continued. “I ask Allah to make me a shahied (iA) to allow me to return to him and be among all the righteous people in the highest levels of heaven.”

Tsarnaev also wrote that he did not like killing innocent people, but believed his actions were justified because the U.S. was killing Muslims.

“The US Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that,” he said. “I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.”

Tsarnaev said U.S. actions had “awoken the mujahideen."

"[K]now you are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven, now how can you compete with that,” he continued.

COMMENT:  The usual explainers say that these two guys were "lone wolves."  That must be rejected.  The people who radicalized them didn't expect them to sit around and do nothing, or watch old prints of "Lawrence of Arabia."  The radicalizers, who use the internet effectively, train for action.  And they got it in Boston.
