I agree that the eBay part of the story looks like a yawner, but everyone knows who eBay is. OTOH, the computer evidence which is hinted at in the ABC News sotry is much more interesting. Maybe much of the plot can be reconstructed from computer records on home PCs.

So they did something to make money to fund their plot - big deal. Its only news if they were using ebay to sell illegal things to raise funds, or swindling customers or something - otherwise, wgaf. I would assume that any terrorist cell has to work to make money to fund their plots unless they're just given money by their oil-owning backers. On 10/12/06, Richard M.
