The other development is last week's filing of a brief that gives a new, comprehensive description of the witnesses the government plans to call.

The paper reports being told by a Justice Department official: "At this point, they are our strongest lead in the Olympics bombing." Another intriguing circumstantial detail concerns 42-year-old Charles Barbee, one of the three: he worked for AT&T in Georgia, Florida and Idaho, and may have held a grudge against the company.
