Open-Minded

Russell Brand is "open-minded" about "9/11 conspiracy theories"? So, he believes in the possibility of a link to Afghanistan, does he? He must be mad.

The theories that the likes of Oliver Kamm on Twitter today presumably have in mind are exactly as sane as any belief in "al-Qaeda", or in "the global terrorist network", or in "Taliban" distinct from the Pashtun as a whole, or in any connection between Afghanistan and the events of 11th September 2001, or in any connection between Iraq and those events, or in weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or in such weapons as a threat to America or Britain even if they had existed, or in an Iranian nuclear weapons programme, or in such a programme's threat to America or Britain even if it existed.

Which is to say, not sane at all.

All of that is before we even start about Syria, or about IS.
