...initiative by Britain's Tony Blair and Italy's Premier Giuliano Amato to reinforce border checks in the Balkans is one of the more promising examples-the elusiveness of traffickers and the unwillingness of victims to testify have rendered most law enforcement efforts ineffective. Moreover, victims are still being blamed for allowing themselves to be seduced into the trade. Throughout Europe, police and prosecutors continue to view the trafficking of women as a permutation of unpleasant but ultimately intractable social ills. "Too often," notes Helga Konrad, coordinator of a task force on trafficking in human beings recently...
...foreign peacekeepers were implicated both as clients and, in several cases, as traffickers. "The majority of [local police]," a subsequent U.N. report asserted, "are guilty of awareness of the brothels and failure to act." Elsewhere, arrests have been rare.

...could hardly blame him. After all, Rasmussen had had his chest cracked open, his heart stitched up and was swimming in painkillers.

But Ruth can't utter a simple sentence without her husband Damascus' hearing blame in it. So he says, "Why is it that every time we start talking, you sound like you gonna...
...human intelligence goes," says a terrorism specialist. U.S. officials hope to use the pooled data to track and extradite bin Laden lieutenants who venture abroad. But the fledgling U.S.-Russian partnership is fragile, since cold war suspicions die hard. Washington balks at Moscow's efforts to blame bin Laden for the Chechnya uprising. And, says a U.S. official, the Russians fear "we are exploiting the bin Laden bogeyman" to gain a foothold in nations on Afghanistan's northern border. Despite that, Russians are investigating reports out of Aden that before the U.S.S. Cole was bombed, its attackers possessed containers with...
