Charges dropped against Arab-American "cellphone terrorists"

BoingBoing reader Sir Novelty says,

The Arab Americans who were picked up after bulk-buying cellphones at a Michigan Wal-Mart have had all terrorism-related charges dropped - and have charged with fraud instead. It remains to be seen whether this represents an attempt to gently wind the story down, or the beginning of a whole new fight over what Americans can and cannot do with the crap they buy at Wal-Mart. The Saginaw News, bless them, has been all over this one. Keep an eye on their website to see where terrorism hysteria stories go to die.
