...Britain, Washington's closest ally on Iraq, has been sharply critical of the Bush Administration's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Prime Minister Tony Blair had organized a high-level conference in London this month to discuss rapid movement toward a "final status" agreement, a course firmly rejected by Sharon. Mindful of that, the British leader also showed his support for Sharon's opponent in this month's Israeli election, dovish Labor Party leader Amram Mitznah, by inviting him to 10 Downing Street. Following Sunday's bombing, however, Sharon banned Palestinian representatives from traveling to Blair's conference...
...tough Rowley--the Rowley who packs a gun and takes it everywhere, who moves coatless through Minnesota winters and runs triathlons, who made a habit of correcting her science teacher--has been stung by a nasty backlash within the FBI.

With the iconic leader back vowing high-level terrorism, Americans are left to wonder why the No. 1 target of the war's original manhunt is still at large. Democrats, pummeled by Bush during the midterm elections for being soft on terrorism, saw a chance for payback. "We can't find bin Laden. We haven't made real progress in finding key elements of al-Qaeda," said soon to be Senate minority leader Tom Daschle.
