  4. Changing missions since 9/11 drive Letterkenny Army Depot growth

  5. Is Homeland Security spending paying off?

    On the edge of the Nebraska sand hills is Lake McConaughy, a 22-mile-long reservoir that in summer becomes a magnet for Winnebagos, fishermen and kite sailors. But officials here in Keith County, population 8,370, imagined this scene: an Al Qaeda sleeper cell hitching explosives onto a ski boat and plowing into the dam at the head of the lake. The federal Department of Homeland Security gave the county $42,000 to buy state-of-the-art dive gear, including full-face masks, underwater lights and radios, and a Zodiac boat with side-scan sonar capable of mapping wide areas of the lake floor.

  9. Review: 'We All Fall Down' by Michael Harvey

    Michael Harvey's latest is an odd concoction of crime novel and government thriller — call it a crime novel plus. In this one, Harvey's signature main character, P.I. Michael Kelly, finds himself in the midst of a bio-terror event, one that has the potential to kill thousands of Chicago citizens. He handles himself with brains and brawn, and a steely steadiness in the face of almost certain death that gives the reader great confidence about overcoming even the worst obstacles that life offers. If you can keep your cool while dealing with a mayor who weighs saving face against the lives of thousands of citizens, you are cool. If you can keep your cool while a Chicago gang-banger holds a big pistol to your head and another gang member is digging your grave in the basement of a corner store in the worst part of town, you are really cool.
