...explosives. Investigators say the most significant arrests in the joint operations in northern Spain and southwestern France were those of Mikel (Antza) Albizu Iriarte and his companion Soledad Iparragirre (Anboto). Antza is alleged to head ETA's political underground wing; Anboto allegedly assumed leadership of ETA's commando forces, and was responsible for several killings, according to Spanish...
...both gratingly juvenile—“a real bounty hunter”—and absurdly hard-boiled—“what might just be our VIP pass into the shitstorm?”. He has the mentality and combat skills of a commando, but the profession and body art of a hipster. Larson’s real physical courage is entirely at odds with his recurring self-conscious pose, pensively staring out from a Jeep while exaggeratedly drawing on a cigarette...
...tightening of Mark Burnett's grip on your remote control. Yesterday, Burnett was at NBC, basking in the afterglow of his hit "The Apprentice" and the excitement over his upcoming boxing show, "The Contender."

"Someone knew those rockets were coming," says a commando, who cannot be named, like almost all the special-forces members who spoke to TIME for this story. For a base of its size, Camp Blessing is still tenaciously guarded. Observation posts lurk high on the ridges and are manned by Marines on 10-day tours. The Green Berets make sure their weapons-training sessions are loud...
...Ahmed," an Iraqi guerrilla, and U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Richard Bear [Nov. 17]. But it would be misleading to believe the two have equally valid goals and beliefs. That would be like equating the American liberators of concentration camps with the Nazi murderers who created them. Ahmed was a commando in the Fedayeen Saddam militia before the war. There can be no true similarity between a supporter of Saddam Hussein and a soldier in the U.S. Army. Maybe Robinson should put down his pen, stop hiding behind his press pass and pick up an M-16. Then...
