Inspector Gregory:
"Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"

Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."

"The dog did nothing in the nighttime"

"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.

Arthur Conan Doyle from The Adventure of Silver Blaze

Michael Romero's Whatreallyhappened.com is a good source for alternative takes on current events. Mr. Romero says his website is anti-war and anti-lie. Obviously, he's got his hands full.

In this segment, he raises an obvious question:

The fictional Sherlock Holmes solved the crime in "Silver Blaze" deducing that it is the owner of the house who is the criminal. How does he know? Because the dog did not bark. The only criminal who could could carry out the crime and not arouse the dog was a criminal the dog already knew as a friend, the dog's owner.

Now let us turn our Sherlockian logic on 9-11. Hijacked aircraft were wandering across the eastern half of the country. In theory nobody could have known how many there are or if more planes were not in the process of being hijacked. How could they? Two of the planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. There is an airport only four miles from Booker Elementary School, and Bush's presence at the school was known to the public 24 hours in advance. Nobody would have assumed he was not a target.

The Dog That Did Not Bark


... when you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

--ACD

That dog don't bark...that dog don't hunt.
