...Brigades has made bogus claims, including authorship of last summer's power outage in the northeastern U.S. But the Brigades also claimed to have carried out November's bombings of synagogues and British targets in Istanbul, in which 61 were killed, and the August bombing of U.N. headquarters in Baghdad in which 22 died. Some intelligence experts take the Brigades seriously--they could be "the new military wing of al-Qaeda in charge of external jihad," says Mustafa Alani, a Middle East security expert at London's Royal Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies--but no one has verified...
...load of rubbish to call it a sophisticated attack," says British security expert Michael Dewar. "You and I could do it." Some 10 million train and subway trips are taken every day in America. Amtrak shuttles 66,000 of those passengers, two-thirds of them through the target-rich northeast corridor. The Washington Metro moves 600,000 people near national monuments. What makes trains useful is what makes them devilishly hard to secure: many doors, high volumes of passengers and thousands of miles of lonely tracks. "I hear people saying it is virtually impossible to make public transport...
...American egocentrism that needs to be remedied. Terrorism threatens all nations. It did not take Madrid to demonstrate this fact, but it has devastatingly reiterated the need for international cooperation to combat it effectively.

A successful global coalition must be cultivated or it will fail...
Columnist Charles Krauthammer's claim in "Medals Don't Make a President" that President John F. Kennedy was responsible for getting the U.S. into the Vietnam War was way off target [Feb. 23]. Kennedy was seeking to de-escalate the conflict. And the implication that Bush is somehow better equipped than Kennedy was to lead the country into war is ridiculous. Let's compare 1,000 days of the Kennedy Administration with 1,000 days of Bush's. In his short time in office, Kennedy pursued nuclear-arms reduction, fought for civil rights and established the Peace Corps...
...reason voters chose doves over hawks three days after suffering the worst bloodshed on Spanish soil since the country's civil war is simple: the widespread belief that the country had become a target for Islamist terror because of its support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Spain might have been targeted anyway, because of its effective police and intelligence campaign that has netted a number of al-Qaeda operatives - or even simply because Andalusia before 1492 was the European foothold of the old Islamic caliphate that bin Laden dreams of reviving. But in the minds of many a Spanish...
