But it also called to mind the cautionary tale of Oregon lawyer Brandon Mayfield, another American convert, who just a week before had been released from jail after U.S. officials mistakenly tied him to the March bombings in Madrid. Had al-Qaeda found a gateway through an American recruit, or were authorities again overreaching...
...Outside soccer's World Cup-and even that isn't yet big news in North America or the Indian subcontinent-there are only two exceptions to the rule that sport isn't global. They are the National Basketball Association of the U.S. and the English Premier League. Both organizations recruit worldwide-the NBA now has players from 33 different nations on its roster, while on any given Saturday a 16-man Liverpool squad can include footballers of 10 nationalities.

...could be strategic defeat. Instead, U.S. commanders decided to pursue what they called "an Iraqi solution." The Marines withdrew from their forward positions around Fallujah and handed security control to a newly-minted Iraqi unit led by some of Saddam's former generals, who were given the freedom to recruit their own troops. The result is a force that directly recruited some of the very same insurgents that had battled the Marines, and was welcomed by residents as a symbol of what they saw as their "victory" over the U.S. Of course, the arrangement required the scaling down...
