...ocean away, other intelligence officials were playing the tape to some of the several hundred lesser-ranking al-Qaeda detainees held in pens at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And the reaction they got was even scarier: a senior U.S. official told TIME that detainees said some passages could be a call to action. That interpretation, along with reports from informants and intercepted communications flooding CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., sent waves of anxiety through the intelligence community...
...troops were trying to find him. In late 2001 combined U.S. military and intelligence operatives in Afghanistan ran the hunt out of Bagram air base. Led by an Army commander, teams patrolled the "rat trail," the countless smugglers' paths that loop into the mountainous tribal zones of western Pakistan, where they had picked up a pattern of phone communication between bin Laden and friends.

"This ship never should have sunk, and the spill should have been contained." The crew's deliberate flooding of empty tanks on one side of the hull to get the ship back...
...Blix wanted to do the Iraqi government the courtesy of explaining what arrangements he was making to resume the inspections. He told the Iraqis that UNMOVIC will need to expand its base in Baghdad and open a field office in the northern city of Mosul. The Iraqis in turn gave the inspectors a list of approved hotels where the inspectors could stay...
