#1 Abulhassan and Houssaiky admitted buying about 600 phones in recent months at stores in southeast Ohio, said sheriff's Maj. John Winstanley. The men said they sold the phones to someone in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb.

Waaaa, 600 cell phones. Find out who is using them. Terrorism are getting into the hinterlands of Ohio.

#3 Southeast Ohio? I figure they went there because they thought the "hicks" would be less likely to catch them.

#5 I have worked in that area at times. Osama and Ali would tend attract attention. Local law enforcement would probably be more alert to "strangers" than say the Feds.

#6 What's with the Wal*Mart maps? Wal*Mart customers in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North and South Carolina should be told to be on the lookout for furners with funny accents. They'll know what to do.

#7 Right after the NSA tracing of phone calls placed to suspected overseas terrorist numbers was exposed by the New York Times, there were reports of muslim men buying dozens of prepaid cell phones at a time. This was probably the time before prepaid cell phones had to be registered. Now that cell phones have to have a name in order to work, I wonder why no one did a computer match to discover so many phones under their names.

maximum 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine
That is sure deter the little jihadis.

#9 Marietta College has a decently well-known petroleum engineering department that attracts a number of students from the ME. These guys may not have raised an eyebrow among the locals, especially since classes will be starting shortly. That said, 600 phones would be enough to make even the locals say, "but don't y'all have a phone in your room?"

#10 What's with the Wal*Mart maps?

I'll wager that's where they are buying their prepaid cell phones

#12 Hmmm ... first this, add to the missing Egyptian "students," and now the early-moring news of massive bomb plot directed at passenger planes.

If civilian passenger planes could talk: "Why do they hate us?"

#13 I know the area well. Live and let live folk, very private. They won't appreciate plotters against America in their backyard. If these scum avoid conviction and escape without buckshot in their rears, they can consider themselves lucky. If they end up in jail, it will have all the markings of a circus act: bearded ladies, three-legged jugglers, and money-laundering terrorists. Quite the spectacle for locals.

#14 This Dearborn enclave is a real and growing menace. I know authorities monitor these bastards as best they can, but I think this operation ought to be shutdown. Tell them to deport themselves or face detention in large desert camps. They're desert lovers anyway aren't they. Michigan is a totally foreign environment and we ought to help them correct it.

#15 Just deport them anyway. If they can't play well with their new neighbors, then they go home.

#16 --damn presbyterians--

The way the hierarchy of CPUSA has been for the past couple of decades, don't put it past them.

#17 Amen. Lately I trust most muzzies before I trust PCUSA.
