...Stefano Dambruoso, Italy's top antiterrorism magistrate until last year. Until recently, the British were notoriously indulgent of hate-spewing imams and the fanatics who worshipped at their mosques. "It took years to convince the British authorities that they had a significant homegrown Islamic threat," says a recently retired FBI counterterrorism official. "I remember being there in 1999, and one of our guys joked, 'If you don't start paying attention to the radical elements in your country, the Queen's going to be living in Ireland.' They didn't think that was very funny." Just in March, the British...
...Center, a Washington-based foreign policy think tank founded by the former President. "Local groups that are already in place, that grew up in Western Europe and can conduct surveillance for multiple bombings without arousing a great deal of suspicion--this can be an enormous problem."

President Richard Nixon and his top aides deliberately flouted the law and lived to regret it, largely because of former FBI official W. Mark Felt, a.k.a. Deep Throat. Revisionists like Pat Buchanan, a former member of Nixon's staff, who would have people believe that Felt, not Nixon, was the criminal, have in recent days geared up a propaganda machine that would have been the envy of the Kremlin during the cold...
