But for Bob Chesner, 61, an insurance executive from West Hartford, Conn., and first-time online shopper, the motivation was simply to try something everybody else was doing.

She has got herself in trouble too, in a February 2000 car crash that cost her 20 head stitches and a no-contest plea to charges of leaving the scene of an accident.

But the cease-fire screw-up was a reminder that the Afghans might be useful proxies for some jobs but were perhaps not quite professional enough to finish this one. On Sunday Zaman managed to get back into the U.S.'s good graces - and back into the race for the $25 million bounty on bin Laden's head - as he ferried Western commandos to the front. By then, U.S. warplanes were pounding al-Qaeda positions with...
