...Lake Tana, the eastern source of the Nile, are important to the holy men for more prosaic reasons. They drink it and water their crops with it, wash in its muddy shallows and scrub their laundry on the rocks that necklace the lakeshore. After every sorghum harvest they draw the water in buckets and mix it with grain and hops to make pungent beer. "Our life depends on the lake," says Father Meseret Moges, 53, a priest who has lived in the monastery on the island for almost three decades. That sentiment is shared by the millions of people...

Which also takes us back to something Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told his interrogators: that Zacarias Moussaoui wasn't reliable enough, that he wasn't part of the Sept. 11 plot. Look at the care the others took to remain secret, not draw attention to themselves, to even play the role of the miscreant to keep anyone of suspecting their real thinking and intentions. Now look at Zacarias Moussaoui's behavior - the one that led to his arrest, and the one in court. You don't think Khalid Sheikh Mohammed didn't have...
