I think its possible that it was a "dry run" that they didn't think the bombs were real in there backpacks and that it was some type of test drill for security. But then again how would that info not get out?

@knightschwartz - that's a possibility, but I don't think it's particularly likely. After all, you would have to be pretty trusting/naive/stupid to let someone give you a 'fake' bomb and tell you to pretend to be a terrorist. Also, not a single friend or relative of the four alleged bombers has given any credence to this theory in anything that they've said since the bombings.

Thats right, send JOHN HILL to jail for spreading proporgander on the internet . but to tell millions of people across the world on tv, like BLAIR, BUSH, CHENEY & RUMSFELD did, that SADDAM HUSSIEN has WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION then go invade HIS country and kill HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of INNOCENT PEOPLE IS PERFECTLY OK BOLLOCKS, BOLLOCKS, BOLLOCKS...... now send me to jail because i say 911 was INSIDE JOB you EVIL FASCIST BASTARDS

@woodleyred John Hill was not sent to jail. He was arrested for trying to interfere with a trial, having not bothered to contact the defendants or their representatives. An overreaction by the authorities? No doubt. But hardly an innocent man.

this really demonizes conspiracy theorists

And why no mention of the Canary Wharf shootings that day?

[jhodgski]

On what basis did the government think they caught the 07:40 train (which was cancelled!) when they arrived in good time for at least one of the earlier trains?

Surely this crap they came out with ("and the reasons they came out with it") needs investigating?

[jhodgski]

...so the question remains: How was Tony Blair able to tell us, before any of the 'evidence' appeared, that the attacks where done in the name of Islam?

[jhodgski]

0:48:45 - Tony Blair saying "We know that these people act in the name of Islam" before any evidence appears is concerning.

But if Tony Blair adds "But we also know that the vast majority any overwhelming majority of Mulsims here and abroad are decent and law abiding people..." - how can that, in any way, put the concerns on weak ground?

[jhodgski]

0:26:34 - "Bruce doesn't know whether he actually saw evidence the bomb was underneath the carriage..." - Really?! He sounded pretty f*****g sure to me!!

[jhodgski]

0:11:41 - The bomber dropped his driving licence nearby to ensure he would be identified?? Pah! And, for the same reason, I suppose the 9/11 hijacker wound down the window and tossed out his passport just before the plane struck! If you're gonna do something like they did for such a magnificent cause, you'd do something a bit more for recognition than drop your driving licence in pure hope somewhere on the bus!

I am ashamed to be British. And the BBC will never get another penny from me.

When real suicide bomber go out on a campaign of terror, they shave all hair from their body, in these photos on the day they had beards or goatees, these guys wernt terrorists khan was actually a well respect member of his community and even police officers were friends with him and he also had connections inside the houses of parliment!!

Why would this massive government conspiracy have a demolition truck right next to the scene of the bombing? With the name of a company that does controlled demolition along the side? Why would the government bring in outside contractors? This theory makes no sense?

At 37:03 the simulation exercise was named "Exercise Oriris". What a strange choice for a name of a terrorist simulation plan. Or perhaps not.

Osiris is a god that are worshiped by occultists and Masons! Of course,

"Osiris is the Egyptian god of the dead, of pleasures and of partying and wine. Festivals held in his honor often resulted in human sacrifices and orgiastic (sexual) rites"
