...Know Thine Enemy After reading Bobby Ghosh's "The Enemy's New Tools" [June 25-July 2], I have a question. Once he completed his interview with terrorist Saif Abdallah, who makes improvised explosive devices, did Ghosh notify U.S. forces of Abdallah's location? If Ghosh sat in a room with him and his equipment, then he has knowledge that can lead to saving service members' lives. Abdallah's next "toy" might kill me or one of my soldiers, and that is unacceptable. Frank Slavin, Captain, U.S. Army, baghdad...
...lifting their spirits; the new Minister has been too busy with her duties to tour her domain. Not everyone will recognize Smith when she does; the Home Secretary's staff have been reduced to pinching outdated photos from her personal website to circulate around the building.

The episode at Fort Dix in New Jersey, no matter how dumb the plotters were, is proof positive that terrorism can occur...

As early as 9 a.m. on Saturday, police checked the logbook of the Paisley Cab Company in connection with the London attacks, Peter Kelso, who runs the taxi firm, told TIME. Shortly after the botched airport bombing, police returned and scoured the logbook specifically for listed rides to the Neuk Crescent address. The logbook revealed that a passenger named "Dr. Abdul" took 18 journeys between the local Royal Alexandra Hospital and Neuk Crescent; and another one-way trip to Glasgow airport...
