    ELEMENTARY, MY DEAR WATSON

    "It was easier to know it, than to explain why I know it",..."If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact"...

    "Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains, however improbable, must be the Truth",...

    "Life is infinitely stranger than anything the mind of man could invent",......

    "On the contrary, Watson, you can see everything. You fail however to reason from what you see. You are too timid in drawing your inferences",....

    "It is more than possible, it is probable",...

    If an Airliner hit the Pentagon, where is the Wreckage???

    Where are the Engines??

    Where are the Bodies???

    Wake up, people. It is a lie. Granted, the biggest lie in American History, but a lie, nonetheless.....
