...bomb attacks against U.S. embassies in the region to take place on or near" the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Al-Faruq said that, despite his arrest, backup operatives were in place to "assume responsibilities to carry out operations as planned." If successfully executed, such a coordinated assault could produce thousands of casualties. Fearing an attack could come at any moment, al-Faruq's interrogators relayed his revelations to the CIA's Counterterrorism Center in Langley, Va. Al-Faruq's story tracked with several recent intelligence reports from Southeast Asia about an increase in suspicious activities near American...

...Crimson’s editorial points out, Harvard’s failure to provide necessary training for members of the Ad Board directly contributes to their inability to resolve sexual assault cases. The solution is not to abdicate responsibility, but to provide mandatory education for all Ad Board members. Alternatively, as The Crimson notes, Harvard could establish a separate board of specially trained individuals to hear these cases and determine the credibility of the individuals involved. Rather than depriving the accused of their rights, this would show the College’s dedication to fairness and equality for all students...
