...clutches in Tora Bora at the end of 2001. "There are some channels that are very active," this official says, declining to give details for fear they might "dry up." He adds, "There are a lot of people very confident that they have him narrowed to a certain sector." That sector probably encompasses several hundred square miles along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, which is not exactly like having him cooped up in your backyard. Nor would this be the first time that hopes of bin Laden's imminent capture have risen, only to lead to disappointment. So no one, either...
...weapons in Iraq, which Blair stressed as the only legal justification for a war that his M.P.s found dubious. Another problem is the surprising force of Old Labour, the party members who stress social justice over technocratic reform and have grown impatient with Blair's affection for the private sector. They rebelled last year over injecting more private money and control into hospitals, and have drawn the line at Blair's plan to require tuition fees of up to $5,500 per year. Their complaints go beyond policy, however; some Labor M.P.s want to signal deep frustration that Downing Street...
...they have been strategic," acknowledges Sheik Mohammed, but he adds, "I have achieved only 10% of my visions."

...evidence put before Hutton - would make his job untenable. Two-thirds of the public thinks Blair should resign if Hutton declares him a liar, according to an ICM poll. It's Blair's perfect storm. Frustrations with his leadership - his determination to introduce more private contractors into the public sector, his presidential style, his assumption that Labour M.P.s should repay his electoral success by toeing the line, his defiant Iraq policy - have been swirling around him for months. Now, the whirlwind could prove too strong even for Blair's legendary survival skills. How could it have come to this? After...
...Another weakness for Blair is the surprising force of "Old Labour," the party members who stress social justice over technocratic reform and have grown impatient with his penchant for the private sector. They rebelled last year over injecting more private money and control into hospitals, and have drawn the line at tuition fees. For some, the unambiguous promise in Labour's last manifesto not to raise them in this Parliament ended the matter, even if Blair's changes wouldn't come into effect until 2006. Others think the Exchequer should cough up the funds to restore the system they enjoyed...
