Enter attack ads. The main party line attacks are well represented by the attack ads in this year’s major races. Take, for example, the typical Republican ad. In Georgia, Republican candidate for Senate Saxby Chambliss ran ads flashing pictures of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein before snapshots of incumbent Sen. Max Cleland to demonstrate how Cleland hasn’t been supportive enough of the Bush administration’s national security policy. It would be hard for most to understand how attacking Cleland, who is a well-respected war hero who lost both legs...
...Harthi was believed by Western and Yemeni authorities to be a close friend of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda's key operative in Yemen. Washington believes he orchestrated the suicide attack on the U.S.S. Cole that killed 17 Americans in October 2000. Both governments suspect that at the time of his death, he was involved in planning further attacks...
...Yemeni President Abdullah Ali Saleh has unambiguously chosen Washington's side in its war with al-Qaeda, arresting scores of al-Qaeda suspects - even, reportedly, bin Laden's youngest wife, 20-year-old Amal al-Saddah.

That's because it only really becomes feasible in situations where the sovereign power is either both hostile to the U.S. and unable to police its own airspace (as was the case in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan), or else...
Movsar was close not only to his uncle Arbi but also to Khattab, the late Saudi-born guerrilla commander who U.S. officials claim represented Osama bin Laden in Chechnya. In an interview with the BBC, one of Movsar's men denied any link to al-Qaeda. Still, Movsar seemed to embrace that group's concept of martyrdom. At the start of the action, a rebel website quoted Movsar, saying the hostage takers were there "to die, not to survive." A colleague remarked, while Movsar was still in the theater, "These are the happiest days of his life." --By Paul Quinn...
