Welcome to your mid-life reawakening.

From here on in, it's all gravy!

There's a background?

Mr Bin Laden always denied involvement with 9/11 - so maybe that's why they killed the audio. Having your evil-doer actually denouncing evil doings is not really beneficial to wanting him dead.

[Endhiran.]

Endhiran. Take a bit of Frankenstein, mix it with a pinch ofBicentennial Man, add a smattering of Terminator and crumble in a couple of ounces of The Matrix before baking in the Bollywood oven at Gas Mark THX 1138 and serving with a liberal dollop of The Sound of Music and you have Endhiran, a film about a robot. With songs.

It's a pile of utter pap, but absolutely the best pile of utter pap you will ever see in your life. I loved every minute of this, but I really can't tell you why. Well, this may have something to do with it...

Do you think they left that crashed stealth 'copter there on purpose to give them an excuse not to reveal "operational details" to safeguard military secrets and also to hint to the world that "this is what we've got"?

Or are they just muppets who can't fly straight for toffee?

I don't know anything worth passing on

This is what you get when you reduce politics to simply voting for your favourite colour.

Welcome to the board.

[I can't prove it]

No probs, Locusts!

Here's something from November 1st, 2001:

"Bin Laden has often been reported to be in poor health. Some accounts claim that he is suffering from Hepatitis C, and can expect to live for only two more years.

"According to Le Figaro, last year he ordered a mobile dialysis machine to be delivered to his base at Kandahar in Afghanistan."

I reckon he's been dead for years. That said, I can't prove it - just like the U.S. can't seem to prove that they've only just killed him.

One often hears entirely similar riders (reported to be, some sources claim, according to whoever, etc.) on the BBC. Cock an ear and see how many times these things crop up in "real" news. I don't say you should believe nothing the government or media (or anyone else for that matter) tells you, but nor should you believe everything they tell you, either. One lie doesn't make a conspiracy and one truth doesn't disprove a conspiracy. (In fact, I'd wager that most apparent conspiracies merely arise from people in power dropping the ball and then scrambling to cover it up without anyone noticing.)

It's always better to keep an open mind - but if you do, remember one thing: An open mind is like an open wound, if you don't look after it, it'll get infected. I think mine rotted away yonks ago...

Heh, is your MP Lorraine Fullbrook as well? Maybe we should just blame her (it's what I usually do).

I refuse to fear my government. No population should fear its government - it's the government that should fear the people.

As far as being called a "conspiracy theorist" (whatever that actually means) goes, I really don't mind at all. It's like being called a fool or an idiot; you either let it upset you or you don't, and I don't. Besides, I'd rather be one of those than a Coincidence Theorist (one of those people who thinks that every inconsistency in every event is just a coincidence because it's too horrid to even contemplate the alternatives).

The trick is in knowing what's a coincidence and what isn't. This is a very hard thing to do and nobody, but nobody, can get it right all the time. Not even me
