Dogs that don't bark, governments that don't work, and the odious like

A CIA commander says we let Osama bin Laden get away. Really? That would be like the "dog that didn't bark" before the World Trade Center, wouldn't it? I'm not going to comment—for anyone bright enough to be reading this, it shouldn't be necessary—beyond the observation that here's an opportunity for those who want to wake up and look around. The kind of lateral, outside the box (the box being orthodoxy and political correctness) thinking a detective or scientist does. Or a guy who survived a criminal attack by the government . . .

One method used frequently by logicians and other Sherlockian types is to carry an hypothesis to it's logical conclusion. Consider, for instance, what would have happened if they had captured Osama. Think of all the fun Halliburton and the Bush League would have missed. That might be a good start on you way to a clear head.
