Echelon Used to Capture Terrorist

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 11, 2003 @02:10AM from the lets-be-rational-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Echelon was used to track and capture Khalid Sheikh Mohammed." Ahh, bitter sweet victories. The article kind of explains what Echelon is, and pretty much says that those disposable phones really don't have much security at all.

If they stuck with the sticks and clubs, no one would be after them. Running a camel into the WTC would not have caused much damage.

I have reason to believe they may have snagged Ron Jeremy instead! Don't believe me, do a side by side comparison of "Mohammed" and Ron Jeremy. Only one way to know for sure, though.
