...Terrorism is not an independent phenomenon. It's a ghastly political tactic used by quite different movements throughout history. Morally, we should make no distinction between Timothy McVeigh and the Passover suicide bomber - both made innocent civilians the target of their rage. But if we're to be effective in stopping such outrages, we have to understand and address the very different circumstances that created each one.

The new Wall Street scrutiny just might reinvigorate a market for boring bean counters in green eyeshades - and make it possible for a tightly focused company like the new Andersen to charge a premium for unassailability...
