<p>It is interesting. The outlook of the writer seems to be that if that attack had occurred in 2006, Congress wouldn’t be quibbling over wiretaps. However, I have to wonder how the war in Iraq would have looked to us if a bunch of Pakistani al-Quaeda supporters had killed hundreds of innocents. It’s really hard to say.</p>
