...seriously as those delivered to the Clinton Administration in late 1999. In the wake of such CIA reports, the Clinton team's insistence on shaking "the agency for whatever it has," in the words of Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, helped thwart several plots set for the eve of the new millennium. Rice is prepping for her testimony by reviewing briefing books that she studied for a private session with the commission in February, and she will be peppered with mock questions from aides. Sources tell TIME that Rice plans a 20minute opening statement to make the case...
...years, Germans maintained unwavering faith in one institution: the Bundesbank, now a regional affiliate of the European Central Bank. Thus, the scandal around the bank's president, Ernst Welteke, has come as a shock. Welteke and his family stayed at Berlin's luxurious Hotel Adlon on New Year's Eve, 2001.

In any case, no one denies that it would have required good fortune to foil the 9/11 plot...

Incoming Socialist Party Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who called the Iraq occupation a "fiasco," reiterated a campaign promise to pull Spain's 1,300 peacekeepers out of Iraq by June unless the U.N. takes over operations there. In Iraq insurgents attacked several hotels on the eve of the war's first anniversary, just when the U.S. hoped to talk up Iraq's successes. The bombings were believed to be the work of Islamic extremists eager to plunge the country into chaos before the June 30 deadline for handing authority back to Iraqis...
