Michael Meacher, although he is really only a spoiler to ensure that Gordon Brown gets in unopposed (when Meacher will be restored as Environment Secretary, that is the deal) , is nevertheless giving aid and succour to those who believe that the attacks of 11th September 2001 were an inside job. But if the world is a conspiracy, then it is a remarkably unsuccessful conspiracy.
And in this case, the truth is far worse than a mere inside job: 11th September 2001 was indeed the happiest day in the life of George Bush (at last, something that could be used to bring about his otherwise inconceivable second term as President), and also in the lives of the neocons whose unwitting (because witless) puppet he was and is (at last, an excuse to take out Iraq, Iran, Syria...). But this was not because of any sort of conspiracy. Rather, it was because, in their own terms, they had suddenly found themselves lucky beyond their wildest dreams.
Yes, it really was, and it really is, as bad as that. And, as with the alliance between neoconservatism and "militant Islam", I am going to carry on taking every opportunity to say so. Those who want me to stop, you know who you are. And so do I...
