To all appearances, this Associated Press picture shows Attorney General John Ashcroft testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee.  He seems to be holding a translated copy of a plan written by the International Islamic Front for Jihad, while impassionately booming: “Documents like these prove that the fight against terror continues.  To protect America we must expand the provisions of the Patriot Act, even if they result in minor restrictions of liberty for individual citizens.”

However, “Geese Aplenty” has learned that if you play Ashcroft’s speech backwards, you hear this instead:

“My name is Axnor Five, from the planet of the Lobster Men.  We are here to devour you, your children, and your children’s children.  You think this is a translated copy of a plan written by the International Islamic Front for Jihad?  Pathetic earthlings.  It’s a cookbook...a cookbook!”
