I don't see your blanket theory any more 'substantiated' than his. So if you want to create guilt from a presumptive motive why not accept the accusation of opportunism when it's applied to you? Because it's that accusation that you're objecting to, much as you want to twist the focus to accuse others of supporting terrorism.
