...identified terrorist assets have been frozen since the beginning of the year, compared with $112 million in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11. In Washington, the Treasury Department challenged the report's conclusions on the ineffectiveness of the effort to clamp down on terrorists' assets. But the U.N. document also detailed the relative ease with which terrorists can cross international boundaries and replenish their supplies of weapons.

The fight against terrorism was one of the casualties of the transition, as Washington spent eight months going over and over a document whose outline had long been clear. "If we hadn't had a transition," says a senior Clinton Administration official, "probably in late October or early November 2000, we would have had [the plan to go on the offensive] as a presidential directive...
