...this sounds like bravado. But so did bin Laden's anti-American rants before Sept. 11. Al-Qaeda has agents in dozens of countries, including the U.S. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, to cite just three wartime American leaders, bent the peacetime structure of rights to avert national disaster. President Bush is right to follow their example. As Justice Robert Jackson said, the Constitution is not a suicide pact...
...corporal at Camp Pendleton in California, awaiting orders to ship out at any time; his brother Joseph, 18, is a college student in Greensboro, N.C., and an avowed pacifist. They had an e-mail fight three weeks after the attacks and have barely communicated since.

Such propaganda hardly fits with recent signals of improved cooperation prompted by the Afghan war, but it is in keeping with a pattern. Whenever relations have become too cozy in the past, Iran's hard-liners step up their anti-American rhetoric. But this time many high-ranking officials, including some former hostage takers, refused to endorse the embassy exhibit. And even amid the archaic, almost risible propaganda...
