Editorial: No Arab Cooperation with American Investigators
After almost a year, American officials in Yemen investigating the October 2001 terrorist attack on a U.S. Navy destroyer are no closer to making a connection to suspected mastermind Usamah bin Ladin. Just as the investigation following the bombing of a U.S. Air Force housing complex in Saudi Arabia in 1996, Arab states are not cooperating with the United States. Why not?

Theories, Facts, and Conjecture about the War on Terrorism
Since September 11 we've all been subjected to reminders that over 90% of Americans are behind the "war on terrorism." I've also been subjected to warnings that everything we hear in the press is lies and propaganda. In this article I examine various theories about the war and decide which are true. I could very well be wrong about any of this, but so could you.
