think we’re arguing over nothing here. my original point was it’s not necessary to have a fruitcake theory. it’s counterproductive and deliberately encouraged by journalists’ "sources" with spin and misinformation. so I don’t have a theory as such, just a political maxim of Claud Cockburn - "why is this bastard lying to me?". exercise a little parallax viewing here. the mood music coming from these unattributable gentlemen has turned round 180 degrees. it’s a foreign hit team/ it’s three guys from leeds/it’s military grade plastic/ it’s cooked up nitro from hugo boss perfume/ it’s sophisticated (i.e. swiss) timers/ it’s who said anything about timers? finally it’s suicide bombers acting very strangely ("amateurish" according to the BBC)/ nope. it’s four assassins "duped by their Al Quaeda handlers" into booby-trapping themselves. (yeah well I’ll buy that, just drop the A.Q. bit.). after all A.Q. "isn’t an organization as such" (tony blair) - no it’s a sort of "franchise" i.e. anybody that wants to call themselves Al Quaeda must be Al Quaeda (yeah well, come to think of it, I’ll buy that one too). as somebody’s said already "what a pant-load"!!
