In April 2003, John Ashcroft's Justice Department disrupted what appears to have been a horrifying terrorist plot.

Strangely, though, the attorney general didn't call a press conference to announce the discovery of the weapons cache, or the arrest of William Krar, its owner. He didn't even issue a press release.
