...murder or attempted-murder charges." Rapid-fire indictments have scooped up Bonannos from Staten Island to the Bronx. In addition to squeezing informants and clocking countless hours of surveillance, two C-10 agents used "forensic accounting" techniques to follow a paper trail through Massino's murky bookkeeping. The knockout blow was delivered in September, when James (Big Lou) Tartaglione recorded acting Bonanno boss Anthony (Tony Green) Urso allegedly conspiring to murder the families of Bonannos who were cooperating with the encroaching G-men. "Why should rats' kids be happy where my kids or your kids should suffer because...
...counterterrorism agencies, the pace is unrelenting, as analysts try to disrupt the terrorists before they can strike here. Those officials are intensely worried that Islamists, emboldened by the Spanish vote, are focusing on how to target the U.S. in the run-up to Election Day to blow up public confidence in the Bush Administration. Officials warn that this summer's Democratic and Republican conventions in Boston and New York City present exactly the kinds of targets al-Qaeda teaches its operatives to choose: the crush of VIPs, chaos, noise and long hours will be a security nightmare...

Since suicide bombers are a finite resource, terrorists could be more inspired than ever to mount devastating attacks by remote control. In other words, Madrid rolled out an innovation that other terrorists will surely copy, says Tarine Fairman, who retired last month as a top international counterterrorism...
...propriety--just as Milch is now beyond the long reach of the ABC censors who dogged him on NYPD Blue, the show he created with Steven Bochco. Take a group of criminals and scofflaws, mostly men, risking ruin or murder to seek their fortunes--who then blow said fortunes on hookers, craps, dope and booze--and in any century, their epithets will be frequent and stronger than "dagnabbit...
