The fact they wanted to buy my cousin's clothes (which is a true story I will find a link to that situation if anyone requests), makes me believe the government feels more than an explosion happened

...why?  If the explosion sprayed stuff like asbestos or something, it'd probably be good for someone not to talk around with clothes covered in that stuff.

Honestly, do you understand the concept behind Occam's Razor?

To be brutally honest, I have no idea wtf that is

In brief, it's the principle that when you have multiple explanations, the simplest one that requires the least amount of assumptions is most likely to be true.

It works remarkably well.

Well, that's certainly an easy way out of it and really isn't fun at all Tongue

I don't really understand.  Why would Bush not use a possible terrorist attack to his political advantage.  He's been known to do it.  (Something of an understatement.)

To not tip off the terrorists that we're "on" to them?  Jesus.
