Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the military's most
ambitious plan yet to fight terrorism around the world and retaliate
more rapidly and decisively in the case of another major terrorist
attack on the United States, according to defense officials.
The long-awaited campaign plan for the global war on terrorism, as well
as two subordinate plans also approved within the past month by
Rumsfeld, are considered the Pentagon's highest priority, according to
officials familiar with the three documents who spoke on the condition
of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them
publicly.
