...there is Iraq, still looming large in the President's cross hairs even as other targets vie for first position. In signing the congressional resolution allowing him to go to war, Bush attacked Saddam because he "promotes international terror" and "seeks nuclear weapons."

The flight students he was tracking were supporters of radical Islamic groups. Some of them, sources say, are believed to be connected to Hamas and Hizballah, terrorist organizations based in the Middle East, while at least one other--who has left the U.S.--had links to al-Qaeda. Another pair mentioned in the memo, neither of whom attended flight school, are the ones under FBI surveillance--which, sources say, is the reason Mueller won't make...
