And how many of the guys involved in the recent UK plot were born in England?

I have no idea - but since you ask, from what I can tell none of those plotters are native born British. Those that are british citizens were naturalized.

But that's not the point. Just about every news report on the cellphone buying case labelled the men as "Palestinian-Americans", and they were even called Palestinian-Americans in articles that explicitly mentioned the fact that they were born in Texas and Puerto Rico. I suppose I should be used to sloppy journalism by the MSM by now, but it is still grating.

Oh, good grief. That term is used to denote ancestry, as in "African American".

If they were really resaling the phones, why didn't they just get a license and buy direct from the factory. They could probably pay 9 dollars each instead of 20 something??
