They are dropping the charges because they all have tracers now and are being tracked. We know where everyone of them are and we also know the phone numbers.
I hope you'e right. I'm sick of these cell-phone apologists.
I've never had a need for a gazillion cell phones. In fact, I hate the one I have. :)
Read the article. They are not dropping all the charges, just changing them. They dropped all the terrorism charges, but they are still pressing dubious fraud charges that could put these guys away for 20 years.
