All indications are that the air crash on Saturday that killed President Lech Kaczynski, his wife, and dozens of other Polish dignitaries was the result of a flawed decision to land in extremely bad weather, Obama administration officials say.

With a wordless shake of her head, Jamie Paulin Ramirez pleaded not guilty in a Philadelphia courtroom today to terrorism-support charges.

Not long after President Obama took office, he unofficially put an end to a favorite phrase of his predecessor: the "global war on terror." True, George W.

As the Obama administration prepares to dispatch U.S. Census Bureau head counters on their decennial door-to-door rounds, right-wing Web sites are feverish with conspiracy theories about how the census is the first step toward communism, totalitarianism, and other isms.

No Americans were either killed or injured in a series of attacks directed against the U.S. Consulate in the Pakistani frontier town of Peshawar on Monday, according to initial reports reaching Washington, say two U.S. officials.

Even in a subculture where outlandish conspiratorial thinking is common, the Hutaree militia of southeast Michigan is on the fringe. The group's leaders invented their own theology--the "doctrine of the Hutaree"--in which former NATO secretary-general Javier Solana is believed to be the Antichrist.

A Colorado woman who was arrested, and then released, by Irish authorities investigating an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist, has returned to the U.S. to face charges of providing material support to terrorists.

While U.S. and European officials are pleased that China has become "engaged" in United Nations Security Council discussions over new economic sanctions on Iran, their expectations are modest at best as to what those negotiations will actually produce.

The Hutaree Militia of southern Michigan, whose recently arrested leader and members consider themselves to be Christian warriors, evidently feared that a little-known (to most Americans) European politician and bureaucrat might be the antichrist.

Members of the Michigan and Ohio-based Hutaree Militia, nine of whom were indicted today on federal terrorism-related and sedition charges, appear to follow bizarre principles that sound like something out of a Ku Klux Klan handbook or fantasy novel.

Initial reports reaching the U.S. indicate that Russian authorities believe that Chechen terrorists were probably responsible for Monday's deadly suicide bombings on Moscow's subway system and that the bombings may have been carried out by a particularly notorious group of female terrorists known as the "Black Widows." Two U.S. counterterrorism officials, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information, said that it is much too early in the investigation to draw a definitive...

The terror strikes of 2001 led to a boom in national-security spending, much of which has helped prevent another domestic attack. But at the state level, Homeland Security funds are often spent with less obvious results--as a recent case in New York makes clear.
