If the examples of other busted plots in Britain—and one horribly effective one on London’s buses and underground trains on July 7, 2005—are any indication, the question of just how serious, how real, how extensive, how precisely connected to other networks these alleged conspirators may have been will linger for years, until their trials are over, and possibly long afterward. Yet in a literal sense the “intellectual authors” of the earlier plots and very probably of this one, already are well known....

SECRETARY OF STATE Madeleine Albright loves to explain. With her big hats and firm but flirtatious style, she has made rapt pupils out of foreign ministers and average Americans. Yet last week she seemed to be struggling. Maybe it was the raucous hecklers who tried to shout her down at an ill-conceived ““town meeting’’ at Ohio State University.
