[Iwo Jima]

I have said before that I have little respect for Ed Smart and do not believe that he is a "manly" man or that he has protected his family as he should and that he is incredibly self-indulgent and selfish. When I first heard about this case and was swallowing the officical version hook, line, and sinker, I was appalled to hear that he had checked himself into the hospital for "exhaustion."

HE'S EXHAUSTED?!?! What about his poor wife Lois who has just lost her father after nursing him through a long illness, has her mother and her father's affairs to look to, has had her oldest daughter taken from right under her nose in her very own house supposedly by an armed gunman who seeems to have a key and free reign of her house? Ed goes off and leaves her alone to cope with the emotional truama, the overhelming burden of caring for the other chidren, and the threat of a mad gunman on the loose who just might return to get Mary K at any time.

His flight to the hosital said to me right then that he had something to hide. Now, reflecting further on the matter, I believe that it shows that he never believed the story about a gunman involved in the abduction. Either that or he is just about the worst husband and father that it has been my sad misfortune to run across. Real men don't abandon their families in their hour of need.

I thought the thing same as you. I wondered if he went into the hospital to get drugs to pass the lie detector test. This is a known flaw in lie detector tests. If you can keep yourself calm with drugs, you can pass them.

Tom Smart's test, however, was suppose to be inconclusive.

Your assertion that Sherlock and I are the same poster is absurd.

I thought exactly the same thing at the time. Still do.
