...investigation into the July 7 bombings is how little we know about the processes of radicalization, recruitment and induction into this network of networks. It is precisely that lack of knowledge that looms largest a year later. The British government has repeatedly stressed that there is no firm evidence linking al-Qaeda to the July 7 bombings. This suggests some confusion in high places about the nature and modus operandi of the al-Qaeda network.

As Davis's scattered generals-Lee, Joseph Johnston, and Richard Taylor, among others-one after another, laid down their arms, the fifty-six-year-old president, deep into spring, still nourished stubborn hopes. If he could somehow link up with Southern troops still in the field, perhaps those in Texas under General Edmund Kirby Smith, he and his brethren in gray might reconstitute themselves as a guerilla movement. And, if they could do that, who knew how long the Confederacy might be able to fight on? Perhaps long...
