...dwell on. The same day the President spoke, the prestigious International Institute for Strategic Studies released its annual survey that found, among other things, that far from dealing a blow to al-Qaeda and making the U.S. and its allies safer, the Iraq invasion has in fact substantially strengthened bin Laden's network and increased the danger of attacks in the West. And the London-based IISS is not some Bush-bashing antiwar think tank; it hosted the president's keynote address during his embattled visit to the British late last year...
...would like nothing better than to shoot down another symbol of the American occupation. This one would be a particular prize: as the head of the U.S. military's Central Command, Abizaid is the Pentagon's man in the Middle East, responsible for everything from the hunt for Osama bin Laden to the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan to making sure al-Qaeda is not able to regroup anywhere else in the poor, lawless areas that make up much of the troubled turf he oversees...
...Ghraib, one of Berg's masked captors took a long knife from his shirt, grabbed a screaming Berg by the hair and cut off his head. CIA officials say there is a "high probability" that the knife was wielded by Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian associate of Osama bin Laden's believed to be the kingpin behind the recent attacks in Iraq.

Moore is particularly indignant that two days after Sept. 11, 2001, the President had a chummy White House visit with Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, from whose country 15 of the 19 hijackers had come; and that in the dire days after 9/11, when U.S. flights were grounded...
Investment tycoon, liberal reformer, world's fourth richest person--Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is a man of many kaffiyehs, and he's adding another: advertiser. In April, Kingdom Holding Co., the $21 billion investment firm that Alwaleed runs, started advertising itself on CNN and CNBC and in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and other media. The ads highlight Kingdom's stakes in a dozen megafirms, such as Citigroup, PepsiCo, News Corp. and Four Seasons Hotels, and include the tag line "Reaching out through global investments." To some, it sounded as if the U.S.-educated prince was trying...
