....came across this curious article from the Independent. This is of course dated July 10, and has clearly been overtaken by events and other speculative tributaries, but it goes to the point that this story, clearly at odds with most other angles on the London bombings does not make it a 'conspiracy theory' - it is just another theory - in this case one that, in hindsight, does not seem to hold much water. (it may also indicte that people around here don't read the Independent any more)
