Re: I've always wondered...

@AC - 'a loose mouthed army general commented that "targetting the Taliban was simple - we just wait till a phone using a Mint SIM is turned on and send in the drone"'

This might explain why the US has so much trouble winning over the 'hearts and minds' in these countries. Unless Mint actually had a policy of only selling to people with Taliban membership cards, that sort of policy would cause a lot of collateral damage (translation: indiscriminate murder).
