...Bush who broke the deadlock. Each morning the CIA gives the Chief Executive a top-secret Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) on pressing issues of national security. One day in early spring, Tenet briefed Bush on the hunt for Abu Zubaydah, al-Qaeda's head of international operations, who was suspected of having been involved in the planning of the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. After the PDB, Bush told Rice that the approach to al-Qaeda was too scattershot. He was tired of "swatting at flies" and asked for a comprehensive plan for attacking terrorism.

...moments like this, one common mistake is to hunt among fallen angels in the $2 range. Such stocks often end up in the zero range (see box, next page).

Inspired by paper chase clubs he had first seen in action while stationed in Malacca, Gisbert persuaded his colleagues to "hunt" with him, on foot rather than horseback. Gisbert, as the hare, would mark long, meandering trails through the brush with chalk arrows and piles of flour. The hounds or "harriers," would set off soon after, in hopes of "capturing" the hare before he finished the trail. The reward at the end of the run, whether or not the hare was caught, was cold beer...
...Laden's network is far from finished. As an extremist detained by Pakistani authorities recently told his interrogators, "Al-Qaeda is nowhere, and it is everywhere. If Americans are after us, we are after them." That chilling threat is what makes the hunt for al-Qaeda's latest Pakistan hideouts so urgent...
