I hate conspiracy theorists...

...not because they're crazy, but because they always manage to make their conspiracies sound so damn plausible.

The latest one I've heard is people who are claiming that the timing of this bombing in London isn't coincidental, with Bush's popularity sinking and the Patriot Act vote coming up this week.

There was also a report on UPI originally that Benjamin Netanyahu was warned not to leave his hotel room prior to the first bomb going off, and this, the conspiracy nuts say, is proof that al Qaeda was not behind this bombing.

And like all conspiracy theories, they're almost definitely insane and paranoid. But we have enough movies and television shows that deal with conspiracies, and the hero can never convince anyone what's really going on, that sitting here at 1am, my heart rate is racing, not with the belief that these are true, but with the paranoid fear that I may be naive to so quickly dismiss it.

Those late night "what ifs" have set in, and I can no longer be sure what's true and what isn't. I can't wait for the light of day again.

Liam.
