...grumbling is to heed it. Rumsfeld and his generals say there has been no abrupt shift in strategy. "We're in the driver's seat," says Rear Admiral John Stufflebeem. But now the commanders are stepping on the accelerator. As many as 100 commandos are already on Afghan soil and hooking up with Northern Alliance forces. The "forward air controllers" among them call in B-52 strikes to pound Taliban positions without hitting Alliance troops. Until now the Taliban's front lines have been spared the weight of American bombs, but last week the U.S. unleashed 80% of its firepower...
...attacks of Sept. 11. Hasan’s assertion that Coulter “openly advocated the wholesale destruction of the entire Muslim and Arab world” is inaccurate, offensive and absurd.

Weeks ahead of New Yorkers, people in Oklahoma City understood what it meant when the Twin Towers collapsed. Until last month, their city was known for the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. They'd spent six years educating themselves on terror's ills and elixirs, turning this corner of the Bible Belt into one of the largest concentrations of terrorism experts in the country. As with the Trade Center attacks, regular folks had lost all their co-workers in minutes. Some families lost all their children. They started using words like "hypervigilance" and "a new normal" in everyday conversation...
