...attacks - code named Titan Rain - are still hitting secure government networks here and abroad. And the country can thank in large measure the type of fecklessness that Sandia's managers showed in handling Carpenter's case.

...crowd was in a stoning mood. The driver threw his Mercedes into reverse and sped backward out of the crowd. Then came a hail of stones, crashing on the car's receding steel and glass. Backtracking on the puddled road, past piles of tires burning in a cold rain, the taxi met Israeli army jeeps highballing in the other direction, toward the shabab, the Palestinian youths with stones.
