...believe the man had been tortured (a practice human-rights groups say is common on both sides) into revealing Maskhadov's whereabouts. The Russians say they tracked down Maskhadov on March 8 in Tolstoy Yurt, 16 km north of the capital, Grozny. It was a typically counterintuitive choice of hideout.

...most fateful moment of his life, the words came back to haunt Pantano. It was late afternoon, and darkness was setting in. Pantano and his platoon were on a raid north of Mahmudiyah, not far from Baghdad, acting on a tip about a possible insurgent hideout.

The real kick, however, is in the grandeur and detail of the production design, by Jim Dultz and David Rockwell. Paris, Cairo, the Panama Canal, the inside of Mount Rushmore and a terrorist hideout (modeled on the Star Wars cantina) look fabulous redreamed in miniature...
...group of commandos that, in the name of freedom and saving the day, invariably destroy everything around them whenever they leap into action. A double-major in acting and world languages, Gary is exactly the man Team America needs for their newest undercover operation: infiltrate the terrorists’ hideout in order to determine their heinous plans...
