    You know, it seems all sorts of nasty stuff is being made quasi-legal in the War on Terra.. Interview with Landesman (NYT magazine writer who did a long piece on Bout) from NPR, August 17, 2003:

    HANSEN: What about after September 11th? Haven't men like Bout become a priority for the Bush administration?

    Mr. LANDESMAN: Actually, the answer is exactly the opposite. The Patriot Act leaves open the possibility of doing more black ops business with men we will never hear about. We're now in the business of tracking terrorists. We're now in the business of tracking people we haven't been able to find before. And in order to do that, we need to cultivate relationships and sources more in the world in which these men operate.
