You can sure twist things around, can't you?

Here is the quote from his book.
In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans
have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging, he laments. I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
