None of them cried "Im a stupid islamo rat" either so who know?

[ppaul]

...the four key suspects in last week's London attacks may have been tricked...

Of course, of course.
And, by George W. Bush.
It's all his, and Israel's fault.

"We do not have hard evidence that the men were suicide bombers,"


I need an asprin.

[TFine80]

Hard to believe...

[krb]

Did you actually read the article? It is a fascinating theory.

[IronJack]

They may have been "duped" into killing THEMSELVES, but they had every intention of killing the people who mattered. I urge EVERY Muslim to strap explosives to him- or herself and go to some isolated spot and detonate them. Just don't hurt any humans in the process.

[TADSLOS]

The duping began when they could read, write and comprehend the CULTure.

[SamAdams76]

If true, this tactic is unlikely to work next time around. I'm glad the papers put this story out.

Man, if you can't trust your neighborhood bomb maker, who can you trust?

[DogBarkTree]

I would like to urge every muslim to strap on an ALLAH VEST and set it off in their favorite crowed mosque so everyone gets their virgins at the same time.

[Thebaddog]

I remember reading about attackers of mosques in Lebanon pulling the pins on grenades that had instantaneous fuses. I wouldn't put anything past the "Masterminds" of this lunacy. And there is some talk that some of the 911 attackers didn't know they were going on a suicide mission until it was way too late.

They all still had our death and destruction in their minds. It was only the final cost that hadn't yet been determined.

[SmithL]

So, they intended to kill, but not to die. I guess the joke's on them, huh?

RIH!

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

DO AS THE LIBS DO...JUST BLAME BUSH!

[DogBarkTree]

I have no problem with the theory but the young and the stupid will write it off as Jew/Bush lies.

[randog]

If true, this tactic is unlikely to work next time around. I'm glad the papers put this story out.

They're using the same tactic in Iraq because they have a shortage of "volunteers". These 4 dupes should have read a newspaper freeped every once in a while.

Didn't the backpack bombs have timers? Why go to that effort if the lads could simply push a button to set off the bombs? The cops have something here.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

So some loza expecting 70-odd virgins in the next instant wasn't duped?

[CondorFlight]

If that was true, imagine what the last bomber (on the bus) must have been thinking--was he trying to disarm his bomb? Was he terrified it would go off in his lap?
Or was he just trying to find a good secondary target (since he had been routed away from the subway) and so he got on a crowded bus instead?
(That last seems to suggest that he knew he was a bomber, and was looking for a good secondary target.)

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Why go to that effort if the lads could simply push a button to set off the bombs?

To deceive the "lads".

[Marty]

Is this supposed to make anybody feel better? Or, it is simply to make sure that the next set of bombers don't die and that they can return for a rerun? The best this might bring about is for some of the idiot bombers to distrust their bosses but it isn't going to work on the ones who want to die anyhow.

Frankly, if that's the case, better we let them die if we can't stop them first.
