For what it's worth, here is a computer translation into English of your Dutch language post. I can almost make sense of it (reading between the lines).

Almost a month Aruba is already in the excommunication of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Especially through the massive attention of the American press, the image has dent gone up of 'on happy Island' a sturdy. The release the day before yesterday by right Paul van of the S., that suspected becomes together with its son of the murder of Holloway, has by the media in the U.S. yet once for extra excitement seen to.

Yet praised the Arubaanse ministers of Justice, Rudy Croes, yet always not that be especially through American tourists visited islands lasting damage through the affair will go up: "We do on it everything at Natalee back to find and the affair to discharge., . The Americas will that finally surely see."

Rudy Croes has want to summon the madman these. While Dutch professors on stone throw distance on Palm beach a beach football tournament finish, shakes the minister in the naastgelegen vip-town the hand of the famous American talkshowhost Geraldo. The television star has been flown over special to Aruba the missing journey to Natalee live to defeat. "It is to be believed", do not sighs Croes. "The Yanks real all records open. And because all that television stations bring want every day news, becomes sometimes the largest possible nonsense as a truth presented. Only all indias story to regret; Aruba no criminal broeinest is!"

The opposite is where, implores the member of government. "It goes right awfully good with Aruba. The criminalities figures - that already high were - are not gone down the last three year yet further once. The number life offences is certain in comparison with our surrounding islands very small. Curacao has since 2002 hundred eighty murders had, we in three year yet no ten. Therefore is it so a pity that we now with this drama be confronted. Although I fortunately can say that we till on at present yet no large numbers afzeggingen had of American tourists."

Ode

Croes begins then an ode, that it especially on comes down to that especially he it perfectly has done during be now more than a year lasting offices period Aruba. About it is come more politieblauw on street, a coast radar has been bought, fights put a by Aruba self financed police helicopter the criminality from the air and Croes a separate locations unity at drugs and weapon trade to fight. The reality is however something genuanceerder.

Especially the Corps Police Aruba under leadership of commissioner Jan van of the Streets the past years has worked make hard at the safelyer of Aruba. But Van of the Streets and also head officer of justice Karin Jansen has been fixed no friends of Croes, that all successes continual to self tries closed to pull. The animosity between the top of the Arubaanse police and it ROUND on the one hand and minister Croes on the other hand has there certainly in the beginning of the investigation to Natalee Holloway for seen to that precious time lost is gone at internal gekissebis over responsibilities.

But according to Rudy Croes its all folds meanwhile smoothed and becomes there unified worked together solving by the affair-Holloway. "About it state too much on the game mutually to quarrels, already comes there yet well an investigation to what there in the beginning is mistake gone", says the minister of Justice. "More than forty thousand men on Aruba its right series dependent on the tourism. The disappearance of Natalee and the publicity around it may not till consequence have that that men just now the risk walk their job rid to hit. Only above all hope I naturally that the girl is found again. For her parents is this a horrible drama. We on Aruba will there everything at do that men in every case security to give over the fate of their daughter."
