...shop floor, a sleek $138 million model made to order for Continental Airlines. But its pilot on this test drive is a little rusty and nervously wipes a hand on his khakis as he glides in to land on runway 14L at the Moses Lake test facility southeast of Seattle. With the plane just 200 ft. off the ground, a crosswind hits, and the co-pilot warns, in that dead-calm tone they all seem to learn, "You're on the left side of the runway." The pilot slides the plane back to the right and touches down with only...
...information suggesting the likelihood of another attack overseas. In June 2001, the State Department issued a worldwide caution warning American citizens of possible attacks. That month, says a recently retired senior FBI official, "we were constantly worried that something was going to happen. Our best guesstimate was something in Southeast Asia."

Bohol Island is a one-and-a-half hour ferry ride southeast of Cebu city, and Nuts Huts, a three-hour drive inland from the port, is truly in the middle of nowhere.

From the southeast and southwest would come two thrusts, one led by a company from the Nahal Brigade, the other by Battalion 51 of the Golani Brigade--1,000 troops in all. The force would include units of navy seals, tanks, engineers to handle the roadside bombs that military intelligence predicted would line...
...sure, not all Acehnese hate the TNI. At the village of Sarah Tebe, near Peureulak, southeast of Banda Aceh, the people have welcomed them. Some 400 families used to live here but more than half moved away in the past 18 months as the conflict worsened. Recent clashes between soldiers and rebels have sent villagers fleeing in terror and, only days before, the corpses of two unknown men?slit from belly to throat and eviscerated?were fished from the nearby Kuala Bayan River. The military is now building a small post at Sarah Tebe. "I'm very glad...
