In my humble opinion, which is the correct opinion else I would think otherwise, all the other conspiracy theories may or may not be true; but this is a miscarriage of justice on top of everything else.
And, unlike almost every other conspiracy theory which abounds, the leader of the the Justice campaign's daughter was actually killed in the plane, and is a uniquely placed member of the "rational" part of the British establishment with an education at Eton, Cambridge University, and Birmingham University, and contacts to the Intel services from his days as an Army Officer in the Royal Engineers, before he took his Medical degree. But that's appealing to the qualities of the man, and not the evidence. (Now I know of a few loony American medics, but Jim Swire doesn't fall into that category.) However, unlike the families of American victims, he reappraised the evidence. Folk in the Intel services leaked stuff to him about this because worldwide the Intel community, and spook-watchers and folk on the periphery, knew (and still know) the score...
Collateral damage for political expediency. I can sometimes see the point to that. No-one has yet convinced me that it is an appropriate response in this case.
