...city when the U.S. forces attacked on Monday, and now those who remain are surrounded, in a slowly tightening cordon. These sorts of operations have taken place multiple times in multiple cities during this war, to little effect-usually the terrorists slip away, as they did in Falluja in 2004, only to turn up elsewhere. That may well happen again this time. But there is one promising development in Baquba...

...area evacuated by Israel in 2005 is well on its way to becoming a kind of seaside Falluja, a safe haven and training ground for extremists of all kinds. Aid workers recently returned from Gaza describe a city breaking down into tribal and gang formations, much like Iraq. The fact that these groups can act with impunity is clear in the ongoing captivity of BBC journalist Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped in March, and has been held despite the fact that his release has been demanded by the top leadership of both Fatah and Hamas. Last week, Palestinian President Mahmhoud...

...parading Rishawi before the cameras, Abdullah also showed that he intends to go head-to-head with the terrorists in the battle for Jordanian hearts and minds. Rishawi has an extremist pedigree-not only her brother-in-law, but also her own brother, another Zarqawi acolyte, died at Falluja.

...escape by taxi. The sources say that she headed for the western Jordanian city, known for its radical Islamists, in search of shelter with the kin of her sister, whose Jordanian husband-an al-Qaeda explosives expert-was killed in a U.S. strike on the Iraqi city of Falluja in 2004. Bad move: The Jordanian sources say a member of the clan snitched, alerting police to her whereabouts...

...from the critical and moralizing eye, and veiled from the force of law, that matters most. The actual, free exercise of power, distant from its dolled-up rhetorical intent, betrays and cancels the original intentions of its architects. The blood stains at Abu Ghraib, and the flattening of Falluja, and not the confident speeches of Rumsfeld and Bush, expose the true intentions of America’s extension of power...
