Imagine that. I don't buy into<br />many conspiracy theories either. I think the bin Laden ain't dead theory is<br />silly.

Also, the people in that room don't use the same<br />logic we do, they don't play by the same rules or obey the same laws. Our<br />ruling elite (I don't care which party) live by a different calculus. Be<br />careful that you don't apply the same logic that you live by to others.<br />They live in a different culture."<br /><br />He adds in a postscript, "I admit to some hyperbole.
