I can sometimes understand how the mind of a conspiracy nut works. I can do this because sometimes my mind works that way too. The essential ingredient in cooking up a good theory is the coincidence.

Take the news of the last several days for instance.

2 men are arrested and accused of laundering money for terrorist organizations. They have in their possession $11,000 in cash, airline manifests and 12 cell phones.

Days ago, we learned of 11 young Egyptian men who disappeared from the airport instead of taking their connecting flight.

Today we learn the U.K. broke up a terrorist plot to blow up multiple airliners.

Really it's all just coincidence.
