That same day the bureau acted as both constable and town crier, warning that "there may be additional terrorist attacks within the United States...over the next several days." Bush Administration officials had been telling members of Congress, police chiefs and reporters for weeks that further attacks by Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network were virtually certain. But now the government was telling the people directly: We're in danger. As if to underscore the point, the Web address for the warning included the code "skyfall," before the bureau changed it. A young aide had chosen the blunt word...
...this week, pointing to possible terrorist activity on Thursday, Oct. 18. That's the day four al-Qaeda associates convicted of bombing the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 are due to be sentenced. While neither the FBI nor the intelligence agencies have specific information that the bin Laden organization plans to attack then, analysts believe terrorists may find the moment irresistible. But U.S. officials also recognize that a strike may not come that day, just as nothing happened on Oct. 12, the one-year anniversary of the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole...

Bush was surprised, but immediately suggested that Straw tell the Iranians they could have a new relationship with Washington if they renounced terror. Blair knows from his travels that many Arabs who disdain Osama bin Laden's terror nevertheless distrust America; accordingly he has pressed for bountiful long-term international aid to Afghanistan, and last week made news by promising a quick push for Israeli-Palestinian peace. None of this directly contradicts Bush's own views. But by staying half a step ahead...
...scrawled his instructions on all the memos in that red box. His armed forces are fighting the Taliban, the only ones to join the U.S. so far. Since Sept. 11, he has zoomed to Europe, Pakistan, India, Russia, the U.S. and the Middle East to invigorate the anti-bin Laden coalition. And he has recalled Parliament three times. Yet the British Prime Minister looks relaxed, serene--not happy, but confident, a man in full...
