...Laden remains the biggest suspect. His organization's operations manual recommends that terrorists adopt the dress and manner of their host country, as most of the 19 hijackers did. And his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahri, is said to have the operational experience to plot something of the scale of Sept. 11. Al-Zawahri leads the Egyptian al-Jihad, the group responsible for the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981; a federal court in New York indicted al-Zawahri in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings...
...speech, Bush spoke directly to the Taliban, the radical Islamic regime that rules Afghanistan and harbors Osama bin Laden, leader of the al-Qaeda network, which is the prime suspect in the Sept. 11 atrocities. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over all terrorist leaders to U.S. authorities. The Taliban has not done so, demanding, in turn, proof that bin Laden is guilty. If the Taliban does not shift from that position, a shooting war seems inevitable. Sources tell TIME that the first, secret deployment orders issued to the Air Force and Navy set a goal of having warplanes ready...
...wish list last week. Presently, when wiretap authority is granted by a judge, it applies only to a specified phone.

Last week Ashcroft also ordered that immigrant suspects, who could already be detained for 24 hours without being charged, can now be held for 48 hours, or longer in emergencies like that faced now. Eighty or so of the suspects detained so far in this investigation were originally held under that rule. Even at present just a handful have been brought up on formal charges. Foreign nationals in the U.S. are subject to treatment that the courts would forbid for American citizens. The 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act gives the FBI authority to monitor secretly persons suspected of espionage...
...response elsewhere was not so gentle. A gunman murdered the Sikh owner of a Chevron station in Mesa, Ariz. "I am an American," the suspect, Frank Roque, declared upon arrest. A woman went through the phone book and made hateful calls to anyone named Abdul. A Muslim cabdriver in Manhattan kept his license out of view and didn't tell customers his first name - Mohammed - because of the fear he sensed. People asked where he is from when they got into the cab: If they are not familiar with Bangladesh, "I tell them it's in South America. And then...
