According to both the Taliban source and a retired Pakistani intelligence officer, the U.S. has lately been trying a different approach to pacifying the militants. These sources say CIA operatives in Kandahar delivered a letter requesting talks to former Taliban Interior Minister Mullah Abdul Razzaq, thought to be hiding in Afghanistan. A Taliban military council, according to this account, responded with three conditions: that the U.S. release Taliban prisoners in Guantanamo, that it stop referring to Taliban members as terrorists and that it announce that talks with the Taliban came at Washington's request. The ex-Taliban source says...
...first thing you will notice is the roomy interior. The 2004 Prius is just 5 in. longer than the old model but has several inches more backseat legroom and a surprisingly large trunk beneath its hatchback. You'll also note the unusual controls: no key is necessary. Instead, you insert a small plastic unit about the size of a matchbook into a slot on the dash, then step on the brake and push the power button. Next you move a small joystick mounted on the dash to the "D" position to start moving. It seems odd at first...
...week has gone by in which the kingdom's newspapers haven't carried sensational headlines about the latest police shoot-out with an al-Qaeda cell or the discovery of an illicit stash of arms and explosives.

In an unprecedented step, the Interior Ministry has published the names and photos of al-Qaeda suspects at large, appealing to the public to turn them in.

...this for real? Is this the same Saudi Arabia that, despite plain evidence, questioned for months the fact that 15 of the 9/11 hijackers were its citizens? The kingdom whose Interior Minister implied that the attacks on the U.S. were the work of "Zionists"? The country whose petrodollars have long funded terrorist groups? Americans, plainly, have misgivings about the Saudi kingdom, doubts that only grew when the Bush Administration, led by a President cozier than most to Riyadh, blacked out 28 pages dealing with Saudi Arabia from Congress's official report on Sept. 11, producing the smell of a cover...
...profile case last December, a Bosnian Muslim who claimed to be a member of Active Islamic Youth (the group denied it) murdered a Christian Croat father and his two daughters on Christmas Eve in what locals say was a hate crime. Saudi teachings, complains Mohammed Besic, a former Bosnian Interior Minister, "are poisoning our youth." More recently the Saudis have focused on nearby Kosovo. Half of the $1 million the Saudi Joint Relief Committee spent in the two months after the 1999 war there went to sponsor 388 religious "propagators" intent on converting Kosovars to Wahhabism...
