New Terrorist Legal Defense

Police in Michigan arrested three men of Arab descent in Michigan and have charged them with a terrorist plot to blow up the Mackinac bridge there. The police believe they had purchased over a 1,000 untraceable cellphones to facilitate the plot. They also might have been involved in shipping them overseas.

The men have come up with a novel legal defense. It could be called the "I'm just an ordinary crook" defense. They say they were buying the cellphones to resell them in Texas, where they live, for a profit.

Slick operators. Either they were engaged in terrorism or they're as smart as Newman and Kramer in the "Seinfeld" episode when they were taking empty glass bottles from New York to Michigan to get refunds for returnables.

In either case, crook or terrorist, they are awfully dumb. If I was an Arab-American I wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary these days.
