Although Cruise and Spielberg, friends for two decades, have been developing the script since 1999, the movie turns out to be topical, a celluloid mirror of current events. Jointly financed by DreamWorks and Fox, it opens amid controversy over Attorney General John Ashcroft's decision to put a terrorism suspect in military detention. Many have noted the similarity between the movie's idea of Precrime and the legal ramifications of arresting but not charging suspected terrorists...

And because Western volunteers are generally converts, al-Qaeda would not have the community and kinship networks available to them in the Arab world to verify the credentials of men like Padilla.

Intelligence agencies have tended to avoid arresting a suspect until the last possible moment, in the hope that tracking him will yield valuable information about the enemy's methods and networks. But it's hardly surprising in the current climate of finger-pointing over September 11 that the authorities may be inclined right now to avoid taking any chances by rolling him up early.
