Hi CO!
As we all can see, this case is so overboard in it's corruption. Since I can't imagine Aruba or any country would go this far to protect three snot nose guys, MAYBE it's possible that "they" said if you don't release me I will tell the truth where Natalee is - sex slave. Aruba may get more money (and threats - necktie killing??) from this type of environment (thugs) than tourism, IMO. However, they need both to survive.
It's been delay, delay, delay thinking it will go away - that they can discourage Beth to the point of giving up because they can't let the truth out. I guess they never met a Steel Magnolia before. Aruba meets the South and the South doesn't bow down to evil but rises up!
National Boycott is the very least USA can do for one of our own. It may lead to protect many more Americans since Aruban officals' hatred for Americans is well-known now. The way they see it, we are nothing but trouble. We value life, they don't. We respect and expect truth, they don't.
GREAT post!!
