...Laden's Tape The videotaped message from Osama bin Laden, showing him alert and very alive, capped a week of bad news for President George W. Bush [Nov. 8]. What is this terrorist, this atrocious, fanatical criminal, still doing at large in the world? A week after the terrible destruction of 9/11, Bush stated in his typical cowboy fashion that he wanted bin Laden "dead or alive." Three years later, billions of dollars have been spent, more than 1,000 American soldiers have been killed, the nation is divided and we are nowhere close to knowing even where that...
...More alarmingly, in a post-9/11 world, the Strait of Malacca is a tempting target for terrorists.

Everyone from the President to the customs cops stamping passports at LAX agrees this...
...twice in the past two years, and failed both times. First, it created the Department of Homeland Security, which included a whole new bureaucracy-the office of Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection-to build the system. But IAIP was almost immediately mugged by the CIA, which backed a new Terrorist Threat Integration Center to do much the same thing. The Pentagon and the FBI ignored both efforts, in the classic passive-aggressive manner of turf-obsessed bureaucrats...
