...prove excruciatingly difficult for U.S. operatives to directly penetrate Bin Laden's networks. His cells are often formed on the basis of family or kinship ties, and may even require a new recruit to kill in order to prove himself. The operatives, who would have to blend in ethnically, would have to forego their American lives for many years, years spent in the exceedingly harsh conditions of Bin Laden's mountain camps...
...view of many nations, in Europe and across the world, that this attack was an international assault on the principles of freedom reflects the deep and growing kinship within the free world in the face of terrorism. In providing for the common defense, we cannot afford to compromise what it is our aim to protect—the basic freedoms and civil liberties that all Americans enjoy.

Li uses chopsticks as surgical probes (martial-arts stars have done that for decades) and hurtles away from a gigantic fiery explosion (the capper to many a scene in Ringo Lam's heroic-bloodshed films). Li went to a new continent but is up to the same old mischief. He's like the American who goes to Paris and dines at McDonald...
...easiest apes for humans to identify with. Because of their more solitary nature, orangutans display a more contemplative intelligence than the often frenetic chimpanzee or the gigantic, seemingly dopey gorilla. One look into an orangutan's almost human, emotion-charged eyes, and there's no denying our intimate kinship...
