I do not see what possible benefit ALE would have to go soft on them. The benefit of concealing the evidence of a crime of kidnap, rape and murder would be that the precious Aruban tourist industry could continue under the misrepresentation that there is no crime on Aruba.

Since tourism is the only major industry on Aruba, there is enormous pressure and incentive from the government and business to conceal crime.

Urine was not held 116 days, but let go early so he could go to university.

What about the victim, Natalee, who had full scholarship for pre-med. What about her future. America has lost a treasure, and that treasure was lost on the little scab of an island, Aruba.

My comments regarding Dr. Phils' show yesterday start at # 1822 of this thread Frou. Many more follow as well. Phil was great. He was angry, called for a boycott of Aruba and apparently has had his own investigative team in Aruba for a while now. He told Beth that he would do ANYTHING he could to help solve this case. It was great, to say the least

The only way I see to solve this case is to use private justice. Aruba is not capable or willing to solve this crime, probably because of who was involved. They know the evil that they did to Natalee and they have chosen it. I don't care what evil befalls that island now.

As far as bribes - there are so many people involved in this "conspiracy" that the bribe tab would truly be astronomical.

I see that you and I agree on one thing.

Yes, the bribe tab would be truly astronomical, and could only be necessitated by the need for coverup of drug transshipment from Columbia and Venezuela, and subsequent money laundering thru Aruba's casinos and banks.

The vice can of worms in Aruba has no limits.

I agree. I'd love to see the island go bankrupt and it might. MSM is gonna pick this story up again and run with it.Like you, I'd love to meet up with these punks some day.

And, to ALL, If I may, dont feed that POS Troll who signed up today please. Just ignore it and it will go away. It only wants to argue and nothing else. Its' real name is Rippersnapper. PLEASE, ignore it. Thank You.

Thanks for letting us know. I was beginning to wonder if it was possibly IamTito or trueben, who we don't hear from anymore.

Thanks for the alert. I need to get off the computer and turn on the TV to be sure and see it.

The only thing Geraldo said worth repeating is why no rape charges have been filed. No victim, no corroborating evidence. Joran's statement alone is not enough to make a rape case stick.

Sounds like the same reasons murder charges won't stick.

Oh, one more thing. Geraldo said he liked the way O'Reilly said Joran's name...Van der Slut. **snickering**

From the Gretawire:

Tito Lacle, the investigative reporter for one of the newspapers in Aruba and a frequent guest on our show, is coming to New York in the next few weeks for a vacation. Our staff is going to try and track him down and take him to dinner for all his help to the show. I am hoping to join them as well (I live in D.C. — when not living on an airplane.) Tito has been very helpful and has become a friend to all us

Yeah, I'd like to track him down too....

Somebody needs to get into that vanderslut house and take a peek around. Probably too late though. They cleaned the car up, I'm sure they cleaned the house up too.

Or were you thinking of something a little more... direct? I just can't stand it when people get away with things like this. :(

LOL. I was thinking they sounded like they may know the Native Lingo.
