Remember the Raybestos Corporation that built our neighborhood baseball field out of a mix of soil and asbestos--a toxic concoction that caused cancer in many of my friends.

"I am angry because Osama is making anti-American statements from our soil and I stressed on him not to do so," said Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban militia's supreme leader. Bin Laden had agreed to "obey" the instructions and lie low, Omar added...
