Another unsuccessful scoring drive by the Washington Fearmongers: the cellphone terrorism cases are falling apart.  The group in Ohio had the terrorism & money laundering charges dropped, and are now only being charged with “lying to the police” (Ha!), while the group in Michigan is being subect to charges locally even though the feds themselves admitted they see no reason to believe they’re anything but tourists.  Barring a lucky break, I smell a lawsuit in that prosecutors future.

Let’s have a word with the defensive coordinator of the Fearmongers, Alberto Gonzales.  Al, how do you explain this hype?

“I don’t know how many of you have ever gone to a store to purchase 80-100 cell phones at a time,” Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Monday in Chicago. “I would consider that somewhat unusual and I think it would be perfectly legitimate to say, ’Hey, is there something going on here?”’

By that logic everyone who buys multiple kitchen knives at once ought to be accussed of plotting a murder.
