"The three-day family trip to national parks in Carlsbad, N.M., and Yosemite, Calif., was planned long before the tragic attack that killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando last weekend. Timed to the 100th anniversary of the creation of the national park system, the excursion had a policy component: aiming to draw attention to the conservation of federal lands and protecting the environment.
"But regardless of the motivation for the trip, the timing — a day after Obama had laid flowers at a memorial to the shooting victims in Orlando — made for a sharp juxtaposition at a time of intensified debate over national security and terrorism." . . .
