Well, I would say more embellished than false.  It was very "coincidental" that the attacks hit around the same time.  But, it didn't actually shut down the congress and even if the attacks had never happened, there's nothing to say there would have been a lot of debate anyway.  It was very, very popular at the time.

I can go with embellished, although the attacks didn't "prevent" debate.  Interrupted maybe, but didn't stop them from having it altogether.  Or least that's my read on your earlier comment.

Yea, the COOP was pretty good back then, for those who needed it and probably even better now.  Anytime 2 events coincide with each other, the CTr's will naturally claim the one that supports their CT.  Maybe, but IDK.
