It's full of simplifications that are so over-simplified that they are just plain false. "We’re always dealing with terror in retrospect". He talks about arresting Abdelhamid Abaaoud from a 'list of Terrorists', but of course Abaaoud wasn't on lists of Terrorists because until the Paris attacks he wasn't a Terrorist, and the French police had insufficient grounds to arrest him for anything. The author is basically ridiculing the French police because they obviously should have arrested him for having a foreign sounding name.
It was definitely sanctimonious, and it wasn't even close to as funny as his previous articles in this series (which for me personally had many genuine LOL moments) but I thought it was fairly incisive social commentary, at least by the standards of what gets into the mainstream media.
