Not a concern of the FBI, of course. B <file:///C:/cell051107> Cell phones bought in US being used to kill our troops in Iraq
<http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/usnews> http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/usnews By <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Douglas J. Hagmann, Director <http://www.kcbd.com/> 11 May 2007: Visitors to this site may recall our reports of suspicious bulk cellular telephone purchases and the subsequent controversy about this issue. The essence of the argument involves the intended use of the cellular telephones purchased in bulk - in the majority of cases by young men of Middle Eastern appearance or origin. Those on the side of the purchasers have consistently asserted that such purchases are made for entrepreneurial reasons - the phones are purchased in bulk and sold at a higher markup elsewhere. The purchasers have been described by their families as "good boys" with no connections to terrorism and no malevolent intent, a template ripped from the pages of certain Islamic civil rights organizations to portray these young men as victims of a system too quick to profile. The Northeast Intelligence Network has consistently maintained that the cell phones are being used for terrorist purposes, although this possibility has been consistently downplayed by federal authorities and the media. On Wednesday, however, authorities in Muleshoe, <http://www.kcbd.com/Global/story.asp?S=6493913> Texas questioned a man who confessed to buying sixty disposable cell phones in a variety of Muleshoe stores. According to local news reports, he admitted that the phones would eventually be used as bomb detonators in Iraq - bombs that will undoubtedly claim the lives of our young men and women fighting in the dusty battlefields against Islamic terrorism - bombs built with components of cell phones purchased in the U.S. According to this local news report, the man has since been released, and no charges were filed. Sadly ironic, isn't it? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
