German authorities have been dealing with the threat of militant Islamic terrorism since 9/11, when it emerged that three of the hijackers, including the presumed ringleader Mohamed Atta, had been living in the German city of Hamburg. In July 2006, the authorities foiled a plot to plant suitcase bombs on commuter trains in Cologne's main station. The explosives failed to detonate and no one was injured. A Lebanese man, Youssef Mohammed el-Hajdib, was convicted in Dec. 2008 of attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison for the failed attack. A year earlier, another Lebanese man, Jihad Hamad...

There has been little heard since about the "Second Wave," so without more documents declassified...

Someone objective needs to take a close look at the exact wording of the "chatter", and tell the President whether there really was an imminent threat. The complete raw interrogation reports should also be reviewed by the same commission to compare it to follow-up investigations, in particular leads generated inside the United States. We cannot take anyone's word for it that the interrogations saved lives; someone objective needs to take a good hard look...
Russia's declaration last week that its counterterrorist operation in Chechnya is over effectively brings down the curtain on a war that began in 1999.
