...Qaeda occurred nearly five years ago - the 2005 bombings on London's mass-transit system. But even in that instance, no one is certain that al-Qaeda was behind it. All we know is that the plot was somehow hatched in Pakistan, but the identity of the mastermind remains a matter of conjecture. Al-Qaeda certainly never provided proof that it had either foreknowledge or control of the attack...
...terrorism. For over a decade, Siddiqui lived and studied in the U.S., but shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, she was linked by law enforcement to a number of terrorism suspects. Among them is Majid Khan, a former resident of Baltimore who was allegedly tasked by 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to plan terrorist attacks in the U.S. In March 2003, Khan was picked up by Pakistani intelligence, who eventually handed him over to the CIA.

And Lauren is the mastermind behind a new initiative to present his company's brands in virtual fashion shows as opposed to have-to-be-there runway extravaganzas. (See how Americans are spending...
...does a reality star regain control of her narrative? First, she blames her producers and the editing. Going Rogue's villain is Steve Schmidt, the very McCain mastermind who vetted her as a running mate. Palin argues that if you didn't like her last year, really you didn't like the version of her that her handlers put forth. The botched rollout of her daughter's pregnancy, her getting pranked by a Canadian DJ pretending to be Nicolas Sarkozy, the campaign-wardrobe bills--blame it all on Schmidt and the stuffed shirts. They couldn't deal with the rogue...
