...Although Moussaoui won't get to mingle, he will be near other notorious inmates at ADX Florence including Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, attempted shoe bomber Richard Reid, 1993 World Trade Center mastermind Ramzi Yousef, 2000 Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph and FBI agent turned Soviet spy Robert Hanssen...
...those seeking asylum who were ordered removed were ultimately located and deported. That pattern, like failed immigration-law enforcement across the board, bodes well for potential terrorists. In the 1990s, half a dozen aliens applied for asylum before committing terrorist acts. Among them: Ahmad Ajaj and Ramzi Yousef, who entered the country in 1991 and 1992, respectively, seeking asylum.

Travellers endure long queues at police checkpoints. "I get nervous when I see a group of Western-looking foreigners," says Khalid Yousef, a 22-year-old university student in Jidda. "You don't want to get caught in the cross-fire." Nowhere is anxiety running higher than in the fortified palaces that house the country's royal rulers. Though the al-Saud dynasty has controlled the country for 72 years, the public...
