...brandish some terrific intelligence to prove there are solid lines--and not just dots--between Saddam and terrorists. A knowledgeable intelligence official says whether Powell can provide sure-shot evidence lies "in the remains-to-be-seen category." Some officials say what they've glimpsed of the Ansar info tends to look convincing only to those predisposed to believe it. Says an intelligence official: "If they're trying to compel people, that's not the place I'd rest my argument."

Last year L-3 was a subcontractor for Boeing on several airport-security systems, and it is now working with Lockheed to supply communications gear and systems engineering...

Although regulators and law enforcement officials in the past have cracked down on underground lenders (loan sharks tend to use gangsters to collect unpaid debts), the government currently allows pawnshops to operate because without them, small-business owners would have almost nowhere else to turn.
