I am not sure how I feel about this one...
Crooks and Liars has a post, about Michelle Malkin's recent post on a bunch of Middle Eastern Guys buying a large number of prepaid cell phones. If you're interested in viewing the results of mixing sickly paranoia with abject stupidity -- or if you want to catch a glimpse of what our country will look like once the most rabid Bush followers have full reign over it -- I highly recommend this genuinely disturbing post from Michelle Malkin. Michelle thinks that she has an important expose of a just-uncovered dastardly terrorist plot by the throngs of Middle Eastern sleeper cells inside our country. The plot she uncovered calls for The Terrorists to purchase disposable cell phones from Walmart -- all in order to evade President Bush's illegal eavesdropping program which was traitorously disclosed by the New York Times. The post goes on to explain that there is no investigation, etc. etc. Now I am not sure I don't agree with Michelle at least from the perspective that a Large Purchase of disposable cell phones by "individuals," should raise some suspicion, regardless of their ethnicity. Now the bit about the New York Times commiting treason for revealing NSA spying, etc. is typical Right Wing Nuttery. Especially considering the fact that the NSA can monitor anything going out over the airwaves, whether it is prepaid or not, and I am sure the Terrorist know this as well as I do. I think we on the left need to be careful about protesting too much, things that might be obvious. If I were a store clerk in the same situation, I would probably be concerned enough to make a call... Whether the dudes buying them were good ole boys driving pickups with Rifle Racks, young homies wearing blue or red bandanas on their heads, or "Middle Eastern," looking cats, they probably watch THE WIRE too. Hehe... Posted by David A at January 14, 2006 10:57 AM
