Just wait for the Conspiracy Theories on the British Bombing

The Brits think it is a suicide bomber which I suspected from the beginning. I can already hear the conspiracy theories start up on this atrocity. Here is one thing that they will probably pick up on:

He said police had found personal documents with the names of three suspects close to the scene of three of the blasts.

All four men were believed to be British nationals, a police source said. Three came from West Yorkshire in northern England, an area with a large Muslim population of south Asian origin.

Why would suicide bombers bring personal documents if they knew they were going to die? I suspect that the police figured out the people were British nationals by looking at these documents. So there was probably a drivers license or some kind of ID card in their wallets.

The real thing that would push it into the conspiracy zone is if there was money with them that was beyond what they needed for their train or bus passes. They know it is a one way trip so they wouldn't need any extra cash for a pack of gum or a magazine on the way back home.

I heard one thing from the news that may explain why the suicide bombers brought their wallets. The expert said they weren't in their right mind so they didn't think about their wallets or even if they would need them. So in other words they strapped on the bomb belt then grabbed their keys, watch, and wallet and went out to get those 75 white raisins/virgins/free trip to hell. I think it would be very hard to fathom the mind of some coward that is willing to kill himself just to murder others. So I think this is a very valid explanation.

Whatever the case I think Israeli officials would be the best people to know the number of suicide bombers that carry their wallets with them. Also our boys in Iraq could give us hard numbers on this as well. It would be an interesting thing for the experts to know (and they probably do) in order to understand how the minds of these cowards work.
