Despite its reputation for brutality, the Northern Alliance was behaving better than expected. "We've been impressed by the way they comported themselves in Kabul," says the State official, "and we have reason to believe they'll take a constructive role in Bonn," where the main factions meet this week to thrash out a power-sharing arrangement. Washington will do business with the warlords, however thuggish or politically grasping they might be.

The room has white wallpaper--hardly the "terrorist's lair" of which the local paper has written. The landlord says he and his wife "were shocked" when they heard from the police that the young man who shared their flat was one of the terrorists (Al- Shehhi was on Flight 175, which destroyed the south tower of the World Trade Center).
