Tinfoil Hattery?

Via Alternate Brain, London Underground Bombing ‘Exercises’ Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack:
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a ‘crisis management’ advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.
Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.

My tinfoil sense was tingling and I knew something was amiss. So I stopped reading Blink — it’s only ok, I think it would’ve been a great 10 page Scientific American article — and refreshed Daily Kos. And what do you know, I was right, here’s some conspiracy masquerading as “speculation.” However, I’m still quite tired, so this is all I’m doing:

105 Comments You Should’ve Read Before Posting This Diary

Also:

This is a repeat diary, so it should be deleted.

This is a simple cut and paste diary, it could get Daily Kos in trouble for copyright violations, so it should be deleted.

Markos explicitly said he doesn’t want this sort of innuendo on this site, so it should be deleted.

Here’s the important bit: the theory itself (the UK or the US version) makes absolutely no sense beyond the superficial “wow” factor of the coincidence. Now of course you don’t have to delete it because it’s a nonsensical non sequiter passing as “evidence” — we’d lose a lot of diary volume if people starting doing that — but I sort of think it’d be a good idea. My opinion, of course, means nothing. So whatever.

Ok, sleep time.

* [new] Is there like a lottery (none / 0)

or something to determine which tinfoiler gets to post this diary each night? Do you guys draw straws? Is it an employee of the month type thing?

I’m sorry, but this really has been covered an unbelievable amount, and people at this site really find this theory reprehensible. The biggest problem with it, besides that it would require the most massive coverup in the history of anything. Is that there isn’t really a motivation for Blair to do this. He was out of political jail once the olympics happened. If there’s no reason for him to do it, nothing afterwards makes a lot of sense.

You’d better do as you are told-You’d better listen to your radio
