Though the Secretary did not establish a link between al-Zarqawi's cell and the government of Iraq, it's hard to imagine such a unit operating under Saddam's iron-fisted regime without official acquiescence. Al-Zarqawi's alleged poisons camp, however, is located in northern Iraq, which is under Kurdish rule, not Saddam's control. After Powell's speech, officials of Ansar al-Islam, a militant Kurdish group that includes veterans of al-Qaeda camps, escorted journalists to a ramshackle dirt encampment in the village of Serget whose layout appeared to match Powell's satellite photo.

Nobody in this military town talks about post-Iraq rebuilding plans. No one skims over the fighting and dying and winning of a war as if they were instructions on a waffle iron. It's real here, even for experts in faking it, like exotic dancer Charlotte Johnson. Marines keep handing her their dog tags before they go. "I think they want someone waiting for them," she says.

Like the power plant used for the Tate Modern, the existing Blackstone plant is a structure with inherent beauty. On the facade, one sees architecturally significant adornments, towering windows, and decorative wrought iron work. Inside are large, uninterrupted spaces (perfect for oversize contemporary painting and sculpture), with pipes running along the walls and ceiling in an industrial—but aesthetically pleasing—manner. Even the smokestacks coming out the top are striking; the polished stainless steel often glistens in the slanting rays of sunset. A renovation could add other defining elements, such as a stylized bridge across Western...
