...would be nice to blame Osama bin Laden. But the recent murders of several women, allegedly by Army husbands who returned from the war in Afghanistan not long ago, confound any quick explanation. In all, four soldiers at the same base, Fort Bragg, near Fayetteville, N.C., are accused of killing their wives during the past seven weeks. The odd clustering of the murders, along with the recent Afghanistan service of three of the suspects, has some people wondering if there's a common thread--perhaps even the first signs of post-traumatic stress in this...
...chilling stories of persecution that continue to reverberate long after the end of the Vietnam War. The Montagnards had fought for the losers in that conflict, side by side with Green Berets (who later helped arrange their relocation to North Carolina near the American special-forces base at Fort Bragg). In Vietnam, old scores are being settled to this day.

...While B-52s rain terror from the skies, an elaborate psychological operation is fighting for the hearts and minds of Afghans, trying to turn them against Osama bin Laden. Command central for this war is the 4th Psychological Operation Group at Ft. Bragg, an eclectic organization like no other in the U.S. Army, made up of 1,200 special ops soldiers, academics, linguists and marketing experts, whose weapons are words and images. Since the U.S. bombing began Oct. 7, Air Force planes have dumped 18 million of the psywarriors' leaflets on Afghanistan, and Commando Solo has broadcast more than...
