"The trouble is, people want conspiracies. They're more satisfying and provide a crunchier narrratie."

True. And that's one of the reasons why they were so receptive to the government's officially-backed conspiracy theory about Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and 19 guys with boxcutters. ;-) It's exciting, it's crunchy, it's scary, and it features evil foreign fanatics with facial hair. What could possibly be better for a conspiracy theory than that?

Obama Bin Laden was being named already ON the very day of 911 on national television, in connection with the attack. Wow. That is FAST deduction by our brilliant news services, I must say. I wonder where they got the information?
