It may sound hard to believe, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., isn’t always wrong — at least when he states the obvious: “9/11 is a long time ago,” he said Wednesday, “and it’s something that needs to be looked at again.”

The “it” is the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force resolution, or AUMF, adopted three days after the terror attacks, and now going on its lucky 13th year. It’s been in effect nearly twice as long as the Gulf of Tonkin resolution authorizing Vietnam, what was “America’s Longest War” — until the 21st century, that is.
