The elephant choked on a peanut

The New York Times published a very interesting story about how a tiny chip inside the cell phone of an Al Queda operative launched an investigation that resulted in the capture of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who is accused of being the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. It's as much a tribute to good old fashioned gumshoe work as it is technology. The investigation resulted in security agencies busting a number of Al Queda cells and preventing a number of terrorist attacks. It makes for great reading.
