Remember Osama? When the feds last week lowered the national alert from orange to yellow, it wasn't just because of Saddam's inability to hit us at home. The new level also reflects a lower threat posed by bin Laden's bombers. As one top counterterrorism official said before the invasion: "If there's a war on Iraq and they don't light us up, they've lost their friggin' juice." No one's letting their guard down, but folks in Washington are breathing a bit easier.
