Therese Frentz, a member of the Air Force's FBI-like Office of Special Investigations, was sitting at a café in Baghdad's Green Zone last October when a bomb went off less than 10 ft. away. Frentz was blown into the air, the force literally ripping off her clothes and scorching her upper body. Shrapnel put a hole in her left leg the size of a tennis ball. Bits of the burgundy plastic café table and metal from the blast shot into her head, tearing her left ear 80% off. She remembers thinking, "Wrong place, wrong time...
Police and FBI agents say they are chasing every lead in the slayings. They have released sketches of two men who were seen near the house on the morning of the murders. And they are analyzing a rich trove of evidence from the scene, including shell casings and a possible fingerprint. But they say it's too early to draw a clear profile of the killer. Judge Lefkow and her husband were involved in hundreds of cases. Several of hers featured violent characters ranging from Mafia hit men to street thugs. Just last year an angry defendant ranted...
Hale, who has a law degree, sued Lefkow, accusing her of violating his right to practice his religion. And he asked his security chief to find her home address. When the security chief, who turned out to be an FBI informant, suggested that they should "exterminate the rat," Hale said, on tape, "My position's always been that, you know, I'm gonna fight within the law ...

"But we look right through them because they fit in society well." If Rader is convicted, he would go down in the annals of crime as "an evil Walter Mitty," says Robert Beattie, author of the forthcoming...
...disgruntled kgb archivist Vasili Mitrokhin walked into the British embassy in Latvia and handed over a sample of what the fbi would later call "the most complete and extensive intelligence ever received from any source." The files revealed the details of many Soviet espionage operations and unmasked kgb agents around the world. Wide-ranging counterespionage operations were mounted, including a lengthy hunt for the alleged asio spy. "This wasn't just another piece of information from a defector," says Canberrabased intelligence expert Des Ball. "This happened to be the first categoric information that the KGB had in fact penetrated asio...
