#4 That's what you get when a bunch of illiterate yokels are devising strategy. I assure you that NATO is tracking cell phones, and I can also assure you that they don't need active towers to do it. I guess it has more to do with the Taliban telling their followers to not use their phones at night (or any other time)...

My sister's friend was building towers there a couple of years ago. More work for him, I guess. Good pay, but the bombings would suck.

#5 If that's what they are worried about, it seems to me that it would be more effective for the terrorists to just turn off their cell phones at night and be done with it. After all, if they burned down all the cell phone towers, they couldn't use their phones!

#6 But then everyone wouldn't be able to use their phones. The idea is, when the Taliban suffers, the innocent civilians also suffer. Thus, the Western media is able to put the blame on the USA once again.

#7 That's a totally stupid idea, gromky. In fact, it's stupid enough that the MSM might actually fall for it! ;-)

#9 The MSM would jump at the chance to blame it on Bush.
