When you have "rational actors" like Peter King suggesting Flight 370 was a suicide plot by the pilot or co-pilot....
{High-pitched Jon Stewart voice}: You know you're in trouble.
Think of all you know about suicide, and people who commit them, sometimes dramatically. We're being asked to posit that an elaborate aviation scheme was devised so the pilot or co-pilot could kill themselves?
The Daily Mail has been responsible for circulating the pic of the pilot wearing his "Democracy is Dead" t-shirt, insisting he was a "fanatic" follower of a leader of the Malaysian opposition. I suspect his t-shirt was of a protest sort. To equate politically active with "Muslim terrorist fanatic" is to show a ridiculous bias.
I think it is more likely that the Malaysian government wanted to get rid of opposition supporters. But I don't want to venture too far in CT.
