...senior counter-terrorism official ridicules the notion that the men pose a real threat. "Any time we have evidence of anything like this, suspects are brought in, interrogated, and held if justified during investigations," he says. Abdelhazak Rabehi, a 30 year-old baggage handler whose job depended on the badge of which he was stripped, aired similar logic.

When Casey set up the Counter-Terrorism Center, the warhorse he was going to ride into battle against the terrorists, Gates was nowhere to be seen. When I worked at the Counter-Terrorism Center and was summoned upstairs to brief Casey on a particularly wild operation, Gates wasn't there. It wasn't because he wasn...
