#1 On the teevee yesterday, there was interviews of turkish bystanders at the evening breaking of the fast, and the conspiracy theory seemed relatively popualr (of course, it could be bias from the media themselves); also a clip from a small demonstration earlier, with Blair, Bush & Sharon as blamed as islamists leaders for the blasts (apparently a communist demonstration, with raised fists, though). I wonder what is actually turkish public's opinion on that?

#2 As for the passports and liscence plates, maybe they were too cheap to buy a video camera to record their martyrdom message. I would think that they wanted actual credit for their actions because they beleived strongly in the righteousness of their actions. Suicide bombers don't have any reason to hide their identities.
I'm sure their parents would have appreciated it if they had gone with the rental option on the car bomb.
