President Bush's recent executive actions to freeze the assets of terrorist groups excluded Hamas and Hizbullah. That omission prompted former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to write Sec. of State Colin Powell a letter calling for their inclusion. "To ignore them will be to weaken the moral basis of our efforts," he wrote. "It will signal to much of the world that the United States abandons its friends to appease some of its enemies."

But according to the New York Times report, sources in the Pentagon have uncovered strong, if inconclusive, evidence linking the Hizbullah to bin Laden's network. Still the Joint Chiefs of Staff have argued against diluting their military mission by targeting the anti-Israeli groups at this time.
