You imply that these people make sense. They are moonbats, so who knows why they need so many. They probably have way more people than we think anyway. Either that, or Mustafa's "friends and family" plan needs to be bigger.
They are on the family, friends and terrorists plan. Can you explode me now.
Maybe but think of it this way. Perhaps they aren't the moonbats you think they are. Thousands of cell phones represent a much more difficult trace problem. If they are of the "pre-paid" variety they come with assigned numbers. Be hard to track just which ones could be active tirggers, although it would be easy to just shut down the coverage area (as in the case of NYC a few weeks ago). Not being a demo expert I could be all wet, but that seems to make the most sense as to why they are buying them in bulk.
