...lost both legs below the knee. During the kids' recuperation at a hospital near Tel Aviv, victims maimed in other attacks visited the kids to show them how well prosthetic limbs could work. Cohen and his wife weren't sure they would ever return to Kfar Darom. The terror strikes kept mounting. The big suicide bombings in Israel's cities grabbed the headlines, but attacks on settlers were far more frequent. Of the 624 Israelis killed in the intifadeh, a disproportionately high 125 were settlers, and 70 were Israeli soldiers who died protecting them. Still, the Cohens felt a religious...
...Russia opposes the use of force and insists no new resolution is needed. The wrangling continues. FRANCE Foiled Bombing Customs police in the northeastern city of Metz discovered 100 g of explosives on a chartered Royal Air Maroc plane, raising fears the material was planted for use in a terror attack. The wad of plastic explosives - similar to that carried by alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid - had been wedged beneath an armrest with no detonation device attached.

In January he suggested that the war on terror created a political advantage because Americans "trust the Republican Party to do a better job of protecting and strengthening America's military might and thereby protecting America." In June a misplaced diskette containing one of Rove's private PowerPoint presentations included advice to candidates to "focus on the war" in their fall campaigns. When friends ask whether Bush really plans to invade Iraq, Rove has been known to reply...
...security reforms enacted after Sept. 11, this color coded threat scale is by far the most idiotic. Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge unveiled the system back in March to better inform the public at large of terror risks. The scale—which indicates risk on a spectrum of green, blue, yellow, orange, and red—aside from being quickly disregarded by 99.9 percent of this country, contains no useful information concerning how to behave under particular alerts. Even the law enforcement community is perplexed...
