...investigators, Zougam appeared to be a low-level operative who moved easily in Islamist circles, not a terrorist kingpin. Moroccan officials told TIME they considered him an intermediary between various cells in that country. "His name came up very often," said a Moroccan official. "But we had no evidence he had done anything, so we could not arrest...
...They don’t use official propaganda channels to produce books, videos and games that praise the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks (yes). They don’t conceal the outbreak of a deadly virus like SARS. They don’t hold millions of peaceful oppositionists, minorities and low-level criminals in a vast slave-labor camp system (known as “Laogai”).

Most of the two dozen or so Baathists killed recently in Basra were teachers. Some teachers had senior positions in the old regime, but many others had joined the Baath Party just to further their careers. An abandoned lot near the Education Ministry's building in Basra has become a dumping ground for bodies that sometimes show up with letters identifying them as Baath Party members...
