Then, protected by Kevlar body armor, they will fast-rope to the ground, bending under the weight of night-sighted M-4 carbines and grenade launchers, carrying radios and handheld global-positioning gear. Some of the teams will feature snipers; others will race across the desert in specially equipped dune buggies; yet others...

Details of the price of alleged FBI mole ROBERT PHILLIP HANSSEN's espionage are beginning to emerge. Sources tell TIME that Hanssen may have cost the U.S. more than $200 million in compromised intelligence programs that must now be replaced. The tab for one supersecret program that tapped Russian communications alone could top $100 million. LOUIS FREEH's FBI had failed to use a standard counterintelligence technique known as mail cover on the Russian spook who ran Hanssen.
