Wherever they are, the missing weapons are beginning to cause trouble elsewhere. Overseas, British Prime Minister Tony Blair is under fire from critics for overstating the case for war (see related story). The accusations came at an awkward moment for Bush, as he began a seven-day diplomatic trip to smooth over relations in Europe and seek peace in the Middle East. Moreover, mistrust about the Iraqi intelligence was growing just as the Administration began to make a similar case against Iran. In order to defend the credibility of his agency, CIA Director George Tenet took the unusual step...
...Trekkers, though, are scrupulously monitored. Much of Sikkim is forbidden to foreigners, and access to the rest is governed by permits. Our trek was a seven-day slog toward the Goecha La plateau to see the sun rise on the world's third highest mountain: the mighty, 8,586-meter Kanchenjunga.

They call it the Palace...
...Already, the U.S. has some 30,000 ground troops and their equipment within striking distance of Iraq, Kuwait being the main depot. An additional 45,000 troops could rapidly be flown into the region to be married up with materiel stockpiled since the 1991 war at Diego Garcia, a seven-day sail away. Some military experts think 75,000 troops would be sufficient to overthrow Saddam. They could certainly start the effort while the U.S. pumped more forces into the theater...
