According to an exclusive article in the Daily
Mirror, it appears that the four London suicide bombers were played for fools by their `al Qaeda' paymasters. I put al Qaeda in quotes in honor of this Blair

"Al Qaeda is not an organization. Al Qaeda is a way of working."
But I digress, according to the Mirror article, the Suicide dupe scheme is gaining momentum with investigators in Britain.

THE London bombers may have been duped into killing themselves so their secrets stayed hidden.
Police and MI5 are probing if the four men were told by their al-Qaeda controller they had time to escape after setting off timers. Instead, the devices exploded immediately.
A security source said: "If the bombers lived and were caught they'd probably have cracked. Would their masters have allowed that to happen? We think not."
The evidence is compelling: The terrorists bought return rail tickets, and pay and display car park tickets, before boarding _ a train at Luton for London. None of the men was heard to cry "Allah Akhbar!" - "God is great" - usually screamed by suicide bombers as they detonate their bomb.
In addition, there has been speculation recently that the men allegedly responsible for the attacks didn't fit the usual profile of a suicide bomber. They had young families, decent jobs and were not known for their extreme Islamic views.
Additionally, two of the bombers had strong personal reasons for staying alive.
Jermaine Lindsay's partner Samantha Lewthwaite, 22, mother of his one-year-old son, is expecting her second baby within days. Mohammed Sidique Khan's wife Hasina, mum of a 14-month-old daughter, is also pregnant.
Our source disclosed: "The theory that they were not a suicide squad is gathering pace. They were the weakest link.
"We think it's possible they were told that when they pressed buttons to set off timers they'd have a short time to abandon the bombs and get away before the blast. Instead, the bombs exploded immediately."
The Suicide Dupe Theory is gaining momentum; how they were duped is the current area of speculation. Some believe that they were patsies, completely lied to and were told they were part of some security exercise. Who knows? What does seem clear is that the case is not open and shut like many would want us to believe.
In spite of some starts and fits in the investigation, the London investigators appear to be searching for the truth. It's a comforting thought versus the stonewalling, deceptions and cover-ups that we are known for here in the states.
