...that while the HIG has not been finalized, intelligence units are deploying to interrogate suspects - including Abdulmutallab and David Headley, who was arrested in Chicago last year and has been linked to the Bombay massacre of 2008.

Ever since, Republicans have assailed the White House: Why was he permitted access to lawyers before a more complete interrogation could take place? Why is he being tried in a civilian court instead of a military one? Somehow the story got around that Gates had approved both decisions. When...
Other notable users of U.S. shell companies: Viktor Bout, the notorious Russian arms trafficker; the Sinaloa drug-trafficking cartel; and Semion Mogilevich, the "brainy don" of Russian mafia dons, recently named on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List. "Each of these examples involves the relatively rare instance in which law enforcement identified the perpetrator misusing the U.S. shell companies," senior Justice Department official, Jennifer Shasky, told a Senate panel recently. Added a senior Treasury official before the same hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee: "Years of research and law-enforcement investigations have conclusively demonstrated...
