...million who died in World War II see to that. If a wise God were in charge of the world stage, he would decree: Thou shalt not exploit the memory of the Holocaust by using it for cheap political purposes. The label has become the universal atomic bomb of denigration, and you don't even have to be German to have it dropped on your head. Remember last fall, when one of Schröder's minions compared George W. Bush to Hitler? This riled the White House more than any of Schröder's anti-American antics...
Dean has no idea how large this constituency is, but he knows it isn't large enough to win the nomination. "It's time to shift gears," he told me, "to become a more presidential candidate with an inclusive vision, not just a bomb thrower." The official announcement of his candidacy this week was to signal that change. And the broader vision? "We've lost our sense of community," he told me. Not exactly a new theme. The Governor road-tested "community" at the Larkspur rally, and it wasn't nearly as much fun as the bomb throwing...
...Most of the chemicals seized?potassium chloride, calcium chloride and aluminum powder?were similar to those used in the Bali bomb blasts. While only a few kilograms were discovered, there was enough to kill scores if a bomb were set off in a confined, crowded space, a regional intelligence official says.

On June 13 a Thai national was busted in Bangkok not with conventional explosives but with a potential dirty-bomb ingredient, cesium 137. This followed a seizure in Bangladesh on May 30 of a stash of radioactive uranium. Now, an unheralded arrest reveals that terrorists may be experimenting with yet another deadly agent: poison...
...Alias, police say, was once a student of Azahari bin Husin, the Malaysian professor who they believe was chiefly responsible for building the Bali bombs. Azahari, the author of a JI manual on bomb building, came within a whisker of being captured by Indonesian police in early June. According to regional intelligence sources familiar with the events, Azahari and another suspect in the Bali blasts were tracked down to a town in southern Sumatra. Alerted that something was wrong when police moved in to arrest a third JI suspect in the same town, Azahari and his companion fled, escaping moments...
