First sentence: ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2001, just six days after anti-American hijackers crashed four planes into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a west Pennsylvania field, U.S. President George W. Bush declared Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden public enemy number one by invoking tropes of Old West justice and cowboy vigilantism.
