Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored, He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps l can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps His day is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! ...

<p>Many years ago, I wrote a book about the Pearl Harbor attack. Now I know how people felt on that fateful day, Dec. 7, 1941. The date of Sept. 11, 2001, will now also go down in history as a "day of infamy."</p>

Terrorists vow to hit Indian N-sites EW DELHI: Terrorist groups based in Pakistan have threatened to target nuclear and military installations all over India in their bid to escalate their separatist campaign, reports reaching here from across the border say. Some half-a-dozen groups have dramatically stepped up their jingoistic campaign since the failure of the India-Pakistan summit at Agra in July. In the past fortnight, the threats have taken an ominous turn. While some of the threats to hit "sensitive installations" in India have been made publicly in Pakistan, some warnings have been reported by Pakistan's Online news agency monitored ...

<p>The great exercise in self-abuse ended with a whimper, not a bang. The bang was previewed in the Middle East on "Bloody Sunday" in Israel and then played out Tuesday in Washington and New York.</p> <p>The sputtering, stuttering, hissing and spewing of invective in one session after another against Israel (and America) at the U.N.'s Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance reflected rather than dealt with the injustices that the conference had been called upon to decry. Israel was not singled out as pariah in the final document. That was supposed to be a triumph. Some triumph.</p>

Does anyone know whether the evidence was turned over to Justice, or what happened on this issue? I apologize for the vanity post - hope some others of you find this important.

<p>President Bush yesterday asserted the nation's determination to retaliate for Tuesday's "act of war" against America, while death-toll estimates climbed well above 5,000 as workers sought to recover the living and the dead from smoldering mountains of rubble.</p> <p>Where the World Trade Center once stood, bulldozers and cranes began the gritty business of gingerly lifting debris, loading hundreds of dump trucks with material that helped to remove obstacles for rescue workers. Meanwhile, relief crews took care not to overlook body parts beginning to smell of decay or survivors in air pockets.</p>

Mr. Specter, Pennsylvania Republican, said on the Senate floor that the United States can declare war against a group -- not just against nations -- if desired.</p>

<p>U.S. military retaliation for Tuesday's kamikaze-style attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon will come sooner rather than later as part of a broader war against terrorists, administration officials said yesterday.</p> <p>Military officers said the Pentagon has quickly updated options for striking terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, a haven for Saudi exile Osama bin Laden, the No. 1 suspect in masterminding the well-coordinated terrorist attacks. Officials said the Bush administration is in the early stages of developing a much broader war on Middle East-based terrorist organizations that could involve attacks on training camps in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.</p>

US attack on Afghanistan would be fruitless: Taliban ABUL: Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia on Wednesday said any retaliatory attacks on its country and Islamic extremist Osama bin Laden for the terror strikes in the United States would fail. "If they want to target particular persons, they won't be able to find them," Taliban spokesman Abdul Hai Mutmaen Said over telephone from the militia's southern Kandahar headquarters.

ISLAMABAD, Sept 12: The United States is seeking full and practical cooperation from Pakistan to hunt down the suspects involved in the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, diplomatic sources said.

When the FBI came knocking a year ago, asking Internet companies to install an e-mail eavesdropping program so that they could catch potential criminals, many executives balked.

"As much as I don't like the intrusive nature of online surveillance technology, I really want to find the guys who did this," said ...

Attacks vindicate India's stand: Advani EW DELHI: Home Minister L K Advani on Wednesday said the attacks in US have vindicated India's assertion that terrorism has emerged as a global threat requiring global response. He also attacked Pakistani leaders for unleashing terrorism against US and terming terrorists as freedom fighters. "These bombings are not just an attack on a city or a country.
