...terrorism analysts see the loose al-Qaeda networks as inherently adaptive to changing environments, and they are likely to have attempted to reorganize and further decentralize themselves to limit the damage wrought by U.S. capture of such kingpins Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

...deplore its foreign policy [COVER STORY, April 21]. The invasion of Iraq was unnecessary. True, the dictator has gone, but the people have paid a terrible price. Few Iraqis feel "liberated." Can we be blamed for feeling uneasy about the future? It's hard to ignore the U.S.-wrought trail of wreckage and carnage extending from Nicaragua to El Salvador to Chile to Vietnam to Cambodia--and now to Iraq. GERALD W. HANKINS Canmore, Alta...
