Dear Vikki and Jean,



Don't you think that image of Muslims as abject, uneducated, unscientific religious fanatics worked against us in guarding the U.S. against terrorist attacks?



No one thought they would be smart enough to use our own planes against us as weapons, or coordinate such an intricate and multi-factored plan.



Whenever I said, around the time of 9/11, that the terrorists were brilliant, I got a bad reaction. I suppose that is understandable in those circumstances, but it was a symptom of how much we underestimate them.
