Blarman, don't be too bashful about conspiracy theories. The legal definition of a conspiracy is two or more people agreeing to commit a crime. If even one of these deaths was actually a murder, and if more than one person is involved, then there is a conspiracy. "Conspiracy theory" and "conspiracy theorist" have become pejorative terms, but I think conspiracies are fairly commonplace, especially when one talks about our government. I don't think that makes me a nut, just a realist. There may, or course, be other reasons why I am a nut, but I think a refusal to consider explanations based on conspiracies is irrational. As with everything else, one must look at the evidence. In this case, I'd be far more surprised if there wasn't some sort of conspiracy than if there was. As you imply, its hard to believe it's all just coincidence.

It may be part of some means necessary to some ends. People who believe in that ideology really have no moral limits.

straightlinelogic noticed a story on this earlier this year. This is NOT a coincidence.
