In conservative fantasyland, aka City Data. OP, where does it say the terrorist was successfully identified...big fail.

And there is nothing more beautiful and natural than people acting freely and voluntarily among themselves without allowing the tentacles of the State to destroy their freedom. It is in everyone's best interest to embrace Agorism, humans are individuals designed to be free from the fictional collective. Government is only force, and almost entirely an initiation of force upon the individual, it is by design, anti-freedom, anti-human, and anti-morality.

Agorism initiates force against none, yet it has the power to topple any fictional State. In the end, it is the individual that gives the State the power to enslave, manipulate, and regulate his entire existence. Unless one learns to not voluntarily wear the shackles. It is up to every individual to expand his freedom toward the natural state. Agorism spreads when those wearing the shackles dutifully see what they are missing by observing those who dare to be free.

I truly hope that man will evolve at some point beyond collectivism and tyranny of the fictional State to embrace the general goodness and better traits of itself, to live peacefully, voluntarily, and free from initiations of force with their fellow man. That we can one day reach a point of evolution where we do not feel the need to force our wishes upon our fellow man, but rather that we can truly live and let live so that every individual can experience his brief existence in this world unfettered by immoral initiations of force. (sorry for the rant... )

Do you work for the NSA? If not, then you can't reasonably ask this question.... much less expect an answer.

Do your own research. I can't help that you are woefully ignorant. Your problem, not mine.

How do you think the British Government (ie. the US Government) could have possibly had possession of this guy's voice AFTER becoming an ISIS terrorist if it had not collected that voice PRIOR to his terrorist activities?

Those of you who think that your government is not collecting voice calls are woefully naïve and, quite frankly, dangerously apathetic.

Maybe MI5 or Scotland Yard have his voice on record. It's worth a try.

Didn't I read somewhere this doofus was working as a disc jockey at some obscure radio station in England before he went all Jihaddi? Wouldn't they, as he was a suspect, have simply gotten ahold of a record of one of his old programs?
