Every day the intelligence bloodhounds search for fresh clues on where these leaders might be and vacuum up electronic and human after-battle reports to see if they can cross another name off. But so far, the scorecard is all too blank. Pentagon list keepers say only three of the 20 men on the al-Qaeda list are thought to be dead; perhaps 12 of those on the Taliban list have been killed or wounded or have defected.
