American confidence is more than a state of mind; it is a muscle, a westward-ho-ing, atom-splitting, moon-landing muscle, and Osama bin Laden's autumn ambush, designed to break it, seemed only to make it stronger.

...motions he filed in his own defense Moreover, judging from his words in court, the professed terrorist who'd chosen to defend himself suddenly appeared to be desperately seeking a plea bargain. Moussaoui may once have vowed to die for his cause and professed a loyalty oath to bin Laden, but on Thursday he declared his willingness to rat out bin Laden as a means of further postponing his journey into the next world...
