   Except for the fact that the idiots at the FBI and other law enforcement agencies can’t seem to ‘profile’ worth a good dog damn:

   Cellphone cases appear to be unraveling
   By Richard B. Schmitt

   Los Angeles Times

   WASHINGTON — Early this year, federal authorities alerted police departments around the United States of the threat posed by people making bulk purchases of prepaid cellphones.

   With a burgeoning underground market for the phones, authorities feared they could be used to bankroll terrorists — or as detonators to trigger a series of explosive attacks.

   So when five men in Ohio and Michigan were stopped last week in separate incidents and found to be carrying large numbers of the phones, local authorities decided to do their part in fighting the war on terror. The men were arrested and charged under state law with terrorism-related offenses that left them facing up to 20 years in prison.

   But now the local cases against the men appear to be unraveling almost as quickly as they were stitched together.

   The FBI has taken the unusual step of declaring publicly that it was unaware of any evidence linking the men to known terrorist groups.

   “And it is still true that in a free society, people who are not breaking the law will have nothing to worry about.”

   And this is an exceptionally fine statement of ‘Guilty Until Proven Innocent’.

   “And this is an exceptionally fine statement of ‘Guilty Until Proven Innocent’.”

   And this is a lovely, albeit indirect, rewording of the classic, ‘Why can’t we all just get along?’
