The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of its Enemies Since 9/11
Suskind identifies the doctrine, formulated by Vice President Cheney,as one that "separates analysis from action and embraces suspicion as a threshold for the use of American power." Suskind says Cheney was "the primary architect of U.S. foreign policy" during the period the book profiles, from immediately following 9/11/2001 until 2004. Suskind says in his IRE contest questionnaire that he was able to reassure several sources that he was willing to go to jail for an indefinite period of time to avoid nasming sources; and gave an example of his unwillingness "to reveal sources within ther government to quash the disinformation from ther FBI. Suskind says "The incident is, tereby, instructive in regard to new rules of engagement: the government will release information to cloud an independent report if they are convinced the reporter will be unable, or unwilling to reveal his sources."

Hate Club
Time investigates the terrorist "world-wide web" Al-Qaeda, whose leader is believed to be Osama bin Laden. The story package reveals background details for most of the organization's leaders. The special report tells how al-Qaeda has been sprawling all over the world in the last two decades. Some major findings are that terrorists might have been using publicly accessible websites to hide their instructions, and that the organization might have presence in Bosnia, plotting to attack Nato military facilities there.
