Oh, thanks for finding that, A. Hun. I couldn't remember where it was.
Shame on Wonkette for not putting the pieces together and looking at the big picture.
That story makes my skin crawl. Buying Tracphones and reselling them makes no sense...stealing and reselling yes, buying and reselling no.
If these guys were in posession of a thousand of them, what kind of conspiracy might they be in on?
This latest British plot shows exactly what danger we are in. Those were homegrown terrorists, and with our larger, similar population of Muslims, there has to be the same threat. A thousand phones hints at a large attack.
Allow me to quote myself:
The saddest words of tongue or pen are not "it might have been," but "if only I'd known."
I recognize that someone (lots of someones) wiser (and older) than I may have come to this conclusion long ago. It is a truth, and thinking people will tend to stumble upon truths, from time to time. Even sporadically thinking people, like moi, can have an epiphany now and then.
