...suspect bin Laden's outfit had a direct hand in the May bombings in Saudi Arabia and the August suicide assault in Indonesia. But Moroccan and French security officials say the synchronized bombings in Morocco in May were primarily a free-lance affair: the hastily prepared work of 14 raw young extremists from a Casablanca slum were plucked out of nowhere by local militants who had embraced the al-Qaeda ideology and got direction from Afghan-trained jihadists abroad...

They provide almost infinite raw material for those given to trawling through details to find patterns and axes to grind with the music. Without them, there could be no arguments about who produced the three best U2 albums, or at least it would require more effort to resolve. Then again, avoiding liners might have saved Paul McCartney being sued by Yoko Ono over his switching of the traditional Lennon/McCartney credit on his last album. And then there’s the problem of lyrics. Without printed...
