...started out like so many others for U.S. counterinsurgency forces in Afghanistan: monitoring the airwaves for enemy communications. From the southeastern part of the country, the U.S. picked up a signal from the phone of a small-time Taliban commander, Mullah Wazir, whose band was suspected of ambushing road crews in an effort to halt reconstruction of the pitted Kabul-to-Kandahar highway. When Wazir's phone flickered to life, the U.S. traced it to a mud-walled fortress near the town of Ghazni. The U.S. command at Bagram air base outside Kabul quickly dispatched an A-10 Warthog fighter...

An FBI profiler is working 14-hour days trying to pin down a suspect or suspects; police brought in the agent whose psychological sketch helped capture Thomas Lee Dillon, who pleaded guilty a decade ago to five sniper killings in southeastern Ohio.

...tiny strip of land on the southeastern coast of Cuba, 600 men wait. They wait for a trial, for a lawyer, even for a charge against them. These men, most of whom U.S. military forces captured in Afghanistan and Pakistan over the past two years, have been denied their basic judicial rights...
Taliban hard-liners have in recent weeks attacked allied and Afghan forces with growing frequency in the mountainous hinterlands of southeastern Afghanistan. But this has not dissuaded Afghan President Hamid Karzai from beginning discreet talks with moderates in the Taliban ranks. The unprecedented talks, which began last week, seem to have the Bush Administration's blessing. Karzai's mediator to the Taliban is its former Foreign Minister Mullah Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil, who was released last Monday after 20 months in custody at a U.S. military base near Kabul...
