...four men who met at London's King's Cross railway station must have looked ordinary enough to the thousands of commuters rushing to work on the morning of July 7. Three were British-born - a 30-year-old grade-school teacher with a baby daughter and a reputation for devotion to his learning-disabled students; an 18-year-old described by friends as a "gentle giant," dressed that morning like the universal teenager, in denims and a sloppy jacket; a 22-year-old cricket fan who worked in his family's fish-and-chip shop in Leeds.

...miles from their Beeston neighborhood. "He was the best lad," says one, "everybody liked him." "He was gentle" and "he got on with everybody." Ameer, a younger boy in a nearby park, could "definitely not" believe it was Kaki. The evidence suggests otherwise.

That is not a great way to spread democracy. If there is indisputable evidence that any prisoners were involved in 9/11, then by all means they should be prosecuted. But if there is no evidence, the U.S. should let them go and apologize...
