By Rich Lowry"Sometimes a conspiracy is a conspiracy.
If it's the first step toward madness to see connections between random events when there are none, what is it to pretend that undeniable connections don't exist?
After the failed Times Square car bombing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano immediately opined that it was a "one-off." Sen. Chuck Schumer chimed in, "The odds are quite high that this was a lone wolf." Translation: Nothing to see here, just a random crazy and a failed plot of no larger consequence.
Soon enough, Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old U.S. citizen, had been arrested en route to Pakistan. The criminal complaint against Shahzad alleges that he "received bomb-making training in the militant strongholds of western Pakistan.""
