...Abbasi writes that when they were together in Guantánamo's Camp X-Ray, Hicks told him he was praying to Satan for help. The appraisal finishes with a warning about Hicks: "Release him and see. If I know Golden Boy Hicks, I know that he has to have that last big adrenalin rush even if it takes him out." Abbasi also vents ill-feeling toward the Australian in his conclusion, where he suggests that Hicks is cooperating with the Americans. "As long as I do not dance to your tune like Golden Boy ? and tell you what...

And in the distance to the south, the terrible brow of Masada, where 960 Jewish Zealots committed suicide rather than surrender to the besieging Romans in A.D. 73. Some Israeli army units now celebrate their graduation after basic training under a night sky ablaze with Hebrew characters that...
...discomfort. Speaking to a group of government officials, Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini thanked them for causing what he sarcastically called "the great explosion that has occurred in Washington's Black House." More recently, however, Muslim fanatics have criticized government officials for agreeing to deal, however tentatively, with the "Great Satan." Last week a somewhat defensive President Seyed Ali Khamene'i accused the U.S. of using the arms deliveries and the involvement of Israel, officially an enemy of Iran's, in a campaign to "damage [our] reputation and dignity...
