Some delegates blamed Osama bin Laden for Afghanistan's troubles; some still considered him a hero of the anti-Soviet jihad. Most of the bearded men in artfully folded turbans came from the same moderate, nationalist, royalist ranks. It is unlikely that many chieftains from inside Afghanistan braved Taliban wrath to come. Nowhere sat a member of the Northern Alliance. Nor did a single so-called moderate Taliban attend. From Kabul, Taliban spokesmen jeered that the gathering was a bunch of self-seekers out to pocket American dollars. Even Zahir Shah, who stood to benefit most, inexplicably failed to send...
...extreme solicitousness: the fetish for coalition. We have been running around the world begging and borrowing Muslim allies so that we can claim that this is not a war against Islam. Why?

Senior officers say they will be able to extract valuable intelligence by interrogating the three men. These are also the kinds of operations that usually don't rub the Bush Administration the wrong...

Western intelligence agencies concede that many of the militants operating in Kashmir have been trained in camps run by bin Laden's network...
...thing that absolutely everyone involved in terrorist groups has in common," says a European official, "is passage through the al-Qaeda camps. When leaders are sent from Afghanistan to start organizing people, there are no questions asked: the camp experience allows everyone to recognize the bona fides of jihad." The B-52s pounding away from 40,000 ft. may not look like sleuths and cops. But if al-Qaeda's sinister appeal and global reach are ever to be broken, the bombers too must play their part...
