...Zubaydah's statements jibed with claims made by other detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that landmarks may be struck during holidays--a strategy also endorsed by al-Qaeda training videos.

"We couldn't just blow it off," says the senior intelligence official--especially given the firestorm over whether agencies could have done more to prevent 9/11.

My group was riding from our waterside inn at Hubbards Bay to Lunenburg, an 18th century seafaring town. The first day had seemed easy to this Manhattan bicycle commuter, so I elected the extra-mileage option. As the other members, most of them boomers like me, climbed into the support van provided by Freewheeling Adventures Tours, I set off on my Trek hybrid. Five miles later I spotted a monster hill looming ahead. Behind...
