This may come as a shock but our government lies to us ... in fact, their entire modus operandi is to "put out" whatever script is necessary to influence public opinion the way they want it to be ... fake events are staged for the desired effect and real events are spun and spun and spun again for the desired effect ...
Having said that, it is certainly true that there are tons of brand new conspiracy theories everyday ... many of them, while perhaps worth speculating about, are a wee bit wacky ... some are concerned that conspiracy theories "make us look like kooks" ... perhaps some of them do ...
But without them, it seems to me we are left with a propensity to just accept that which is "put out" ... we see something like the London plot and the very sane and rational among us, maybe they're from the "Show Me" state, explain that "we are way out there" and that "we can't be serious" and that "we have to get a grip" ... as i said, there are some pretty looney ideas being postulated by some of us ...
The problem, though, is that what these anti-conspiracy folks are saying may be totally rational and also totally wrong ... When confronted with the lying liars in the WH and their massive media spin machines, everything should be questioned ... No truth should just be accepted because it is rational or even credible ... A stronger criteria to evaluate events is that, even if events turn out to be true, anything that directly benefits the current administration is more likely to be a lie than to be the truth ... yes, that's a subjective standard ... it's the one I recommend ...
The bottom line is that "nobody knows nothin'" ... you can be as mature or responsible or rational or reasonable as you want to be; just realize, though, that much of what you know may very well have been scripted by people who are very, very good at writing scripts ... don't be so sure you really know what you know ... question everything ...
Here's yet another article in a parade of articles raising some very legitimate questions about the London "terrorist" plot ... is the author right? who knows ... is he right to question the "official line"? you're damned straight ...

http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0817-26.htmFrom all official statements so far, we are led to believe that August 10 was a highly developed, far-advanced conspiracy, under surveillance for some time, which could have been put into action within just a few days. And perhaps 8/10 really was the biggest thing since 9/11. But then again, perhaps it wasn't. We don't know yet. And it's not too early to ask the questions on which final judgment must depend.
Well, then. Here is a checklist of some things we should shortly be hearing about. Bombs. Chemicals. Detonators. Labs. A testing ground. Airline tickets. Passports. Witnesses. Suspicious neighbors. Suspicious parents. Suspicious friends. Threats. Confessions. Let me spell this out: By definition, you cannot bomb an aircraft unless you have a bomb. In this case, we are told that there were no bombs; rather, the conspirators planned to bring on board the makings of a bomb: chemicals and a detonator. These would be mixed on board. <skip>
So, there must have been training. That means there must be a lab, or labs. There must have been trial bombs. There must be various bits and pieces of equipment used to mix the chemicals and set them off. There must be a manual. There must be a testing ground. And each one of the young men under arrest must have been to these places. Interestingly, it must have all happened, too, without a serious accident, injury or death among the conspirators. If so, they are a lot more competent than the Weather Underground ever was, in my day.
Arrests were made at night, catching the culprits at home. Houses have been raided, and are being searched. So far as we know at this point, no bombs have been found. No chemicals. No equipment. No labs. No testing ground. Maybe this will come out later, but it hasn't so far, even though the authorities seem anxious to tell just about everything they know. <skip>
Now, in order to get on an airplane, even the most devout suicide terrorist needs a ticket, and these generally must be purchased with money. Apparently, not one ticket had been purchased by the detainees. One little-known feature of airline security (in the United States, anyway) is that people traveling on one-way tickets bought at the last minute get special scrutiny at the gate. Those tickets are also (a lot) more expensive. If you want to pass unnoticed, you will buy your ticket round-trip, in advance, and also save money like everyone else. <skip>
