...small, anxious-looking man who stood before a judge last week in London's Central Criminal Court hardly resembled the feral terrorist British police are linking him to. But Saajid Badat, 24, faces charges of having conspired with fellow Briton and convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid, who tried to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001. And Badat is just one of 21 people detained by British police in the past three weeks under antiterrorism laws (some suspects have since been released...
...left on a lot of things. If two gay guys want to get married, I could care less. If a nut case from overseas wants to blow up their wedding, that's when I'm right. [Sept. 11] was a big thing for me. I was saying to liberal America, "Well, what are you offering?" And they said, "Well, we're not going to protect you, and we want some more money."

Lincoln on May 1. Saddam?s capture is certainly a body blow those among the insurgents who hoped to restore Saddam to power - but that is not necessarily a goal that has been common to all of them. The insurgency could suffer some even more immediate knocks if Saddam cooperates with his captors, to whom he could provide an intelligence bonanza...
