...much has changed? Today the overt signs of Binori's notorious radicalism are gone. You no longer find posters asking for donations to the families of "martyrs" killed fighting American "infidels" in Afghanistan. Sermons nowadays steer clear of politics. "We were warned by the Pakistani police not to say anything bad about Bush or the Americans," says Qari Mohammed Iqbal, one of the mosque's administrators. "So now we don't." Secret police are regularly planted among the worshippers to ensure that the preachers obey...

Two weeks ago, after Kelly first came forward, the Ministry of Defense issued a release that described Kelly's rebuttal of Gilligan without naming him. But reporters soon identified him; indeed, they were led to Kelly after a quiet steer from government officials. Thrust into the limelight, and finally called to explain himself before the Foreign Affairs Committee, Kelly faced a terrible bind. If in chatting to Gilligan, he had suggested that Campbell "sexed up" the dossier, he may have overstated what he actually knew. Before the Committee, he either...
