...linked to al-Qaeda or--as some think--is just a loudmouthed bombast, al Muhajiroun is real. Bakri claims his organization has offices in 21 countries, and it certainly has a presence in the U.S. Early in May, al Muhajiroun supporters held a demonstration to support Chechnya outside the Russian consulate in New York City.

Bush, normally more comfortable with baseball on TV and pickup tours of his Texas ranch, took in Rembrandt's The Return of the Prodigal Son at the Hermitage and a ballet at the Mariinsky Theater.
