8. The concurrent drills by English security on how to deal with mass transit
bombs. The exercise included 3 mock bombings in locations where the actual bombs went off, on the morning of the bombings. Not unlike the war games in the US that took place on 9/11 where the air force would have to shoot down commercial planes that had been hijacked.

9. except that the London exercises were run in a room
by a private company. My understanding was that the New York exercises involved city, state or even federal employees.

6. the September 11 forum is the place for any opinion
or inquiry that seems to call into question the government account of any terror episode.

I think it is supposed to be a tinfoil hat ghetto, but it's become more of a skeptic's hangout.

7. Because they all think there's a connection
to the exercises that apparently ran in New York on Spet 11th.

11. If it is true it doesn't mean anything - but people will use it as proof
of some such conspiracy. If it is true some bombers likely thought that mixing it up on a day there was 'practice' would add to the confusion.

All speculation. Was in Canadian News as a fact - but I don't think it is really acknowledge as so.

No point in torturing our British DUers with theories.
