London Times: "Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network have acquired nuclear materials for possible use in their terrorism war against the West, intelligence sources have disclosed." [Scripting News]
I've been very wrapped up in work lately and completely ignoring the news. I almost wish I still didn't have time to read it. This is really quite terrifying.

Ha'aretz: "Foreign Minister Shimon Peres returned yesterday from a trip to the United States with many impressions. 'The Americans have moved from one era to another,' concluded Peres. 'We haven't even begun to understand what happened there. They aren't thinking about how to defend Israel, but how to defend themselves in a crazy war.'" [Scripting News]
I remember watching a news report from Israel after the attack on WTC and the reporter said you could almost hear the excitement from the Israelies. They thought that at last the Americans and the west would understand what they have been living through. They thought this would help their cause. What a massive miscalculation. The Americans have turned inward. They are trying very hard to appease the Arab countries, to get them onside in their efforts to fight terrorism. The Israelies have never been more isolated.
