There's a very good analysis of the current situation in Afghanistan by a Robert D. Kaplan in The Atlantic. Kaplan reported on the Afghan/Soviet war in the '80's and wrote a book about the struggle, Soldiers of God, published in 1990 and coming out in November in paperback.

Article in the Post about the detention of over the over 1,000 people since the Sept. 11 attacks. "Exactly 23 minutes before suspected terrorist plot leader Mohamed Atta acquired a Florida driver's license, a 28-year-old Pakistani gas station attendant got his license renewed at the same motor vehicles' branch. For that reason, Mohammad Mubeen was standing in a tiny courtroom wearing an orange jumpsuit last Monday afternoon, one of more than 1,100 people ensnared in a nationwide hunt for terrorists."
