[Story is here](http://www.boingboing.net/2007/10/09/crashed-drug-plane-o.html). Has there been any updates on this story? Is it a legitimate conspiracy or have those theories been squashed?

Well that sounds like a boring conclusion, especially after all the conspiracy investigation mentioned (with pictures!) in the updated Boing Boing story. Here I was wanting more (and I generally hate conspiracy theories)…

Of course the government is involved. Since Obama has bled the taxpayers beyond dry, he has to find other ways to finance the multi-trillion dollar deficit.
