...final day. At Mama Mia's, Wells received a call around 2 p.m. for two sausage pies to be delivered to an address about two miles away. The delivery address turned out to be on a pitted dirt road leading into secluded woods and finally to an array of satellite-TV dishes. What happened in the subsequent few minutes is under investigation, but police know Wells turned up at a nearby PNC Bank branch at 2:40, waited in line and presented a teller with a note demanding $250,000. Another note, found later in his car, reportedly instructed...
...right--there will be many, many Los Alamos--type projects spearheaded by various teams of scientists and engineers seeking to head off a mind-numbing array of potential threats. This much you can count on: some will be elaborate but ineffectual (can you say Maginot Line?), some will be all hype, but some will improve our sense of safety. Because terrorists can pick targets anywhere, counterterrorism has to defend everywhere--from airports to office buildings to cargo ships to hospitals. Sept. 11 shed an urgent light on our vulnerabilities and galvanized us to protect ourselves with something better than duct...
Indeed, a depressing array of defense and foreign policy experts, including members of the uniformed military, have quietly concluded that postwar Iraq is the most vexing theater of operations the American military has faced since Vietnam.

...Regional intelligence officials believe, however, that Azahari is inheriting a terror network that has in some ways been compromised. Patiently constructed by Hambali in the 1990s, the organization has long been characterized by its array of largely autonomous terrorist cells?a structure that enabled the top tier of JI leaders to remain at a safe distance from the foot soldiers. That structure, say intelligence officials, has now effectively collapsed because so many of JI's leaders have been arrested in the wake of the Bali bombing. As a result, senior figures who remain at large are forced increasingly to deal...
