...Southeast Asian front hasn't been shut down as much as temporarily shifted. Counterterrorism experts have long insisted that Indonesia has served as both staging area and refuge for terrorism. Along with Malaysia, Indonesia is one of the likely operational bases for Jemaah Islamiah, a pan-Southeast Asian terrorist group with al-Qaeda connections. While President Megawati Sukarnoputri's government has long denied the presence of substantial terror networks on the archipelago, it is willing to take Washington's $50 million. As the cold war painfully taught us, it takes time, money, and unfortunately, boots on the ground...
...administration's to-do list is immense. Unlike Gulf War I, there's no sense of international crisis: Saddam hasn't invaded or threatened any of his neighbors, let alone lashed out at the U.S. Efforts to link Saddam to the September 11 attacks have failed to pan out, and so the advocates of military action are building their case around his alleged possession of deadly chemical and biological weapons.

MIDDLE EAST School's Out Israeli police officers seized documents and computers from al-Quds University in East Jerusalem, before shutting it down.

...richly gravied, the onions adding a sweetness to the tender chunks of venison. I fry up some trout rolled in cornmeal and flour in a mess of pig fat: awesome--crisp on the outside and soft and buttery inside. We put some grouse coated in cornmeal in a pan of pork fat: a winner. We find some morels on the property, which we combine with onions and cook in a wash of pork fat: very nice...
