...addressed in the 28 pages censored from Washington's official report on 9/11. It has long been suggested that Saudi Arabia probably had some kind of secret arrangement to stave off fundamentalists within the kingdom. But this appears to be the first description of a repeated, explicit quid pro quo between bin Laden and a Saudi official. Posner told TIME he got the details of Zubaydah's interrogation and revelations from a U.S. official outside the CIA at a "very senior Executive Branch level" whose name we would probably know if he told...
...decision by Hamas and others to relaunch major terror operations inside Israel was not simply a bypassing of Abbas; it was a vote of no-confidence in the Palestinian prime minister. The militants had agreed to the "hudna" in the expectation that the quid-pro-quo would be the release of the 6,000 Palestinian militants currently in Israeli prisons, an end to Israel's attacks on their leadership, and an end to many of the restrictions that have strangled Palestinian economic life in the West Bank and Gaza.

You didn't become an international superstar by playing it safe...
Unfortunately, women are not currently in a position to change the status quo on their own. According to a report by Northwestern University’s Media Management Center, the number of women in top editor positions has actually declined from 25 percent in 2000 to 20 percent in 2002. The American Press Institute (API) and the Pew Center for Civic Journalism also report that in 2002 only one in five top female editors expected to stay where they are and one in two expected to leave the news business entirely...
