IN NORMAL times, the officials who uncovered the intelligence that led us to Osama bin Laden would get a medal. In the Obama administration, they have been given subpoenas. On his second day in office, Obama shut down the CIA's high- value interrogation program. His Justice Department then reopened criminal investigations into the conduct of CIA interrogators - inquiries that had been closed years before by career prosecutors who concluded that there were no crimes to prosecute. In a speech at the National Archives in May 2009, Obama accused the men and women of the CIA of "torture," declaring that their work "did not advance our war and counterterrorism efforts - they undermined them.

LONDON - A senior British spy testified Monday that the ringleader of the 2005 suicide attacks and his No. 2 were on MI5's radar for more than a year before the bombings but it wasn't clear an attack was imminent. The suicide bombings killed 52 people. MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency, fought to prevent its staff being questioned in public at the inquest into the bombings. But presiding Judge Heather Hallett said victims' families had the right to know whether the attacks could have been prevented.
LONDON - Flashing lights, swarming paparazzi, a mysterious second car at the crash site and a multi-tentacled conspiracy allegedly directed by the husband of Queen Elizabeth II - jurors have much to sort through in reaching a judgment on the deaths of Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed. Nearly 11 years after the tragedy that shook the world, testimony has ranged far and wide in an extraordinary coroner's inquest, without shedding much light on claims that they were victims of a plot. The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, is expected to begin his summation today, which may take days before going to the jury.

Questions have surfaced at the Police Department and inside City Hall about whether top police brass knew of potential issues in the handling of a 2006 homicide probe months before the chief said he became aware of the situation and ordered an internal affairs investigation. A string of police officials have been summoned to give statements about their knowledge of the situation, from detectives who worked the homicide case up to Assistant Police Chief Herman Badger, Lt. Patrick Redding, head of the detective bureau, and Sgt. Lisa Dadio, the bureau's second-in-command.
