The more persuasive interpretation, to my mind, is that Emperor Akihito has been so deeply disturbed by the Abe administration's efforts to transform the Constitution — not only to politicize the role of the emperor, but also to dispense with the so-called peace clause that prohibits Japan from engaging in war — that he is trying to delay their progress, perhaps until after the end of Mr. Abe's term in 2018.

Let's set aside for a moment the characteristically Trumpian attempt to politicize a factual question (Crowley either plagiarized or she didn't, and her political affiliation has no bearing on the question), as well as the inflation of the book's sales (the industry publication Publisher's Lunch reports that it sold under 21,000 copies over the course of its lifetime; for comparison, Glenn Beck's 2008 Christmas book had sold just under 700,000 copies by 2010).

But for the most part Wray is viewed as "a safe, mainstream pick," as The New York Times put it, and his nomination is "likely to allay the fears of F.B.I. agents who worried that Mr. Trump would try to weaken or politicize the F.B.I." The main wrinkle is that Trump's announcement is apparently intended to preempt Comey's eagerly anticipated testimony, which is expected to shed light on how Trump attempted to sway the FBI's investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Thomas L. Friedman If only Stephen Paddock had been a Muslim … If only he had shouted "Allahu akbar" before he opened fire on all those concertgoers in Las Vegas … If only he had been a member of ISIS … If only we had a picture of him posing with a Quran in one hand and his semiautomatic rifle in another … If all of that had happened, no one would be telling us not to dishonor the victims and "politicize" Paddock's mass murder by talking about preventive remedies.

A former assistant attorney general overseeing the Justice Department's criminal division under President George W. Bush, Mr. Wray is likely to allay the fears of F.B.I. agents who worried that Mr. Trump would try to weaken or politicize the F.B.I. "Christopher Wray knows the Justice Department, is not a politician, and has a background in federal law enforcement," Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island and a member of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement, calling those his "minimum qualifications" for the next agency director.

Petter Nesser, a senior researcher with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment and author of the recent book "Islamist Terrorism in Europe," noted after the Paris attacks that savvy jihadi recruiters can be a powerful pull: The European jihadi underground revolves around experienced jihad entrepreneurs, who recruit and socialize misfits and drifters, politicize grievances they may have, and employ them as tools for transnational militants, such as al-Qaeda and IS. Social despair may create a hospitable environment for recruitment, but in many cases social ties and loyalty to entrepreneurs are sufficient driving forces.

It is really interesting to hear people who immediately politicized the Las Vegas tragedy which is a month ago, we still don&apost know what happened in that case, immediately moved to politicize it, blaming all American gun owners, now say that when you have someone like this guy who is proudly asking to hoist an ISIS flag in his room, we don&apost need to wait to find out what motivated him because he&aposs made it very clear what motivated him to say we can&apost address any political solutions is a very weird thing when they were singing such a different tune a month ago.
