Until that reversal, the Detroit case had marked the only terrorist conviction obtained from the Justice Department's detention of more than 5,000 foreign nationals in anti-terrorism sweeps since 9/11.

When the attorney general was locking these men up in the immediate wake of the attacks, he held almost daily press conferences to announce how many "suspected terrorists" had been detained. No press conference has been forthcoming to announce that exactly none of them have turned out to be actual terrorists.

Zero. None. Zip. Zilch. You'd think that after invading two countries, curtailing numerous civil rights here in the homeland, and hemorrhaging billions of dollars into a black hole, the Bush administration would have something to show for their efforts. But no. Nothing. It's almost as though they weren't even trying.

Hey, there's a thought.
