...five-bedroom suburban home, TIME found inventory forms for arms checked in by fighters. They detailed the type of weapon (from Kalashnikov rifle to Soviet-era T-62 tank), its country of origin and serial number, and the organization to which it belonged, usually a Pakistani group, the Taliban or "specially for al-Qaeda." Other printed forms listed basic data about individual fighters, including name, nationality, health condition, training background and official role. One Palestinian fighter, listed as Abu Majid, 24, was noted to have extensive combat experience "against the Jews," that is, the Israelis, in south Lebanon...

Once an individual’s guilt has been established, the sentence may follow—but the punishment for accused terrorists, like that for suspected mass murderers and alleged serial rapists, must come after the finding of guilt. Should even Osama bin Laden be brought before a judge in chains, we would hope that our nation would accord him just punishment through a process that is something more than a glorified lynching...

...awful truth about hunting for a serial killer is that the most important clues usually come at the expense of more lives. Last week the odious spores managed to kill the messengers before they even knew what ailed them. But postal workers Joseph Curseen Jr., 47, and Thomas Morris Jr., 53, still delivered the message. Think bigger, Curseen and Morris told us. The only thing more elusive than the terrorists are the microscopic weapons they have unleashed. The baby-powder- like substance in the letter opened on Capitol Hill on Oct. 15 does not respect laws and traditions such...
