I've got some strong material for the stupidest conspiracy theorists of them all.
Hypothesis:
Whenever Bono goes somewhere, the national government there starts seizing the judiciary.
Evidence I:
Bono was in Turkey on the eve of the recent constitutional referendum. He had a meeting with Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. Consequently, the amendments were passed by a popular vote and the AKP government have a stronger grip on the judiciary now.
Evidence II:
Bono was in France yesterday. He met President Nicolas Sarkozy. Consequently, Sarkozy's Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux has announced some reform plans on judiciary. If ratified, the new laws will create a new French judiciary which will be more dependent to the government, especially on crucial issues such as the appointments of the magistrates.
My Theory:
Should we blame the Turkish people?
Should we blame the French nation?
Heck no!
Blame Bono!
U2's Bono met with French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace in Paris yesterday. The palace didn't publish a photo, showing Sarkozy and Bono together. We've got only this one.
