...complete shock to U.S. counterterrorism authorities. U.S. intelligence sources told TIME that in several meetings with Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri since early September, Administration officials have informed her that the U.S. had evidence that al-Qaeda had established a major presence in Indonesia. They pressed her to arrest Islamic militants they believed were linked to Osama bin Laden's network, including Abubakar Ba'asyir, the alleged spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah, a radical Islamic group suspected of terrorist attacks across the region.

Many Chinese complain that corruption is worse now than under Chiang Kai-shek. The impulse to address this is seen in the recent arrest of some of China's wealthiest citizens and those accused of being their official patrons. The political system desperately needs reform. And China's leadership will take time to gel?even though now, with his key prot?g? Zeng Qinghong apparently ready to accede to the Politburo's Standing Committee, Jiang...
