...summer-movie preview that ran last week on TIME.com, I speculated about Ocean's Thirteen: "If Take 3 is a reasonable facsimile of its predecessors, it will be like one of those elite parties you're dying to attend because of the killer guest list; then you get in and find that, for all the star glamour in evidence, the ambiance is somehow... lacking." Turns out my hopes were too high. It's as if the whole enterprise were running on battery power that was about to give out. The five big stars can't shake the movie's infectious...
...plot that included the 2002 assassination of U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley in Amman. Although Fatah al-Islam appears to have its origins in conflicts related to Palestine, Iraq and al-Qaeda's global jihad, the group's activities now risk destabilizing Lebanon.

The Lebanese army launched its attacks following indications that Fatah al-Islam was setting up an al-Qaeda base in Lebanon like Zarqawi's al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia. The group's provocations include alleged involvement in February bus bombings...
