...migration and ethnic relations at Sweden's Malmö University, Roald has seen attitudes toward her faith shift from indifference to begrudging tolerance mixed with mostly quiet disdain. "Scandinavians want to be inclusive, but it's difficult," she says, especially after Sept. 11. Thanks in part to Osama bin Laden, Roald and other Muslims unfairly bear what she calls "guilt by association." She often feels the judgment of others the instant they see her headscarf. "When I became a Muslim, I didn't know you were supposed to wear the hijab. Most Muslims in Norway didn't," Roald recalls...

Bush At War also reveals the CIA’s prominent (and hitherto secret) role in combating terrorism. The book begins by introducing CIA director George Tenet, who is desperate to figure out “when or where or by what method” bin Laden will attack the U.S. As many as three years before Sept. 11, Tenet recruited 30 Afghan agents (the Seniors) to trail bin Laden throughout Afghanistan.

...problem is less at a government-to-government level than in the sphere of public opinion. Although they'd like the Saudis to do more to clamp down on funds reaching al-Qaeda, the Bush Administration has spoken positively of Saudi cooperation against bin Laden's network in the wake of 9/11. The Administration knows well that the Saudi rulers are among bin Laden's most loathed enemies, and overthrowing them is a key objective of his global jihad. The Administration is also aware that a majority of Saudis are considerably more hostile to the United States than are their...

...With bin Laden still at large and al-Qaeda continuing to strike, al-Jubeir's PR campaign faces considerable odds. The history of Saudi support for bin Laden doesn't help. There was a time, in fact, when America's leaders thought it was an exceedingly good idea for wealthy Saudis to send their millions to Osama bin Laden to be used for purposes of jihad. That was back in the mid-1980s, when the target of Bin Laden's jihad was the Soviet army occupying Afghanistan. Bin Laden was a star fundraiser and organizer for a program organized...
