Was 7/7 a government plot?


Recommended Posts

Have a chew over the loose ends at:

Some of the points resemble some of the 9/11 issues, eg:

 

- why was prior surveillance of suspects discontinued?

 

- a terrorism exercise/drill just happened to be running at the same time as the real thing (as with Operation Vigilant Guardian on 9/11 - seen as a means of causing confusion for officials not in the know)

 

- why have only 3 CCTV images of the bombers ever been released - out of the dozens which must exist?

 

- some witnesses suggest that the bombs seemed to explode under the carriages

 

- some dealers appeared to make money by selling the pound short in the days prior to the bombings.

the mastermind of 7/7 was apparently in the employ of mi6 - thats where the police were unable to get to him (at least then, dunno what he's up to now)

 

Whilst conspiracy theories appeal to the Machiavelli in us all, to suggest that these terrorist bombing were masterminded by our Government is jsut crazy.

 

For the family and friends of the treacherous bombers, it'd be nice to think that they could blame it on the Government but it's not true. They were there and I think most reasoning people accept that they did it.

What would be the point? Is anyone more likely to vote for the Labour Party because of it?

 

I don't subscribe to the crackpot ideas that the US attacks were a conspiracy, but at least you can see how the yanks will vote for a right wing president when they are attacked. In the UK we have been under constant terrorist attack for decades and through many governments.

Whilst it makes sense to think that a huge terrorist attack can be beneficial for the govt in terms of getting some of its policies through, I just dont see any evidence of collusion or prior knowledge.

 

I think its safe to say that many of the shortcomings can be simply described as Govt and organisational incompetency, which in itself is nothing new.
