fact = 'idea; notion'

[Jonathan Lighter]

I haven't posted one of these in a long time because they're so common I
don't see the need. However, here's an especially good one, from a terrorism
expert on CNN:

"We can't be lulled into the fact that all these al-Qaeda people are
flubs....They are expert bombers."
