This is a very scary opening sentence:

"FBI and Justice Department investigators are increasingly frustrated by 
the silence of jailed suspected associates of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda 
network, and some are beginning to that say that traditional civil 
liberties may have to be cast aside if they are to extract information 
about the Sept. 11 attacks and terrorist plans."
