They feel real lies and made up stories don"t count up events such as alien abductions. Australian memory researcher, he was on a talk show with a chief of police discussing mistaken witness id. When he got home he was arrested for murder because someone had seen him on the show and had mistakenly thought he was at a scene of a crime. He was turned over to israeli government by us for being ivan the terrible (nazi). 5 holocaust survivors positively identified him from 40 years ago. Russian government presented information that proved his innocence and so he was returned to us. Later he was sent to germany for nazi warcrimes, but point is he was not ivan: susan clancy.
