COMMENTARY

N17 and the Olympics The capture of suspected members of the November 17 terrorist organization does not mark the closing of a case that remained unresolved for 27 years, as some would have us believe. Rather, it marks the mere beginning of Greece's adaptation to the global war against terrorism which was declared on September 11 when terrorists hit the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
