I agree with you, TexKat. At this point, the Bahamians are making up their own minds about HKS (and it is not pretty). He will eventually (hopefully, soon) face a jury of Bahamians regarding Daniel's death. A 'boycott' or even negative presumptions about the Bahamas from the US (on blogs, TV, etc.) could have a 'backlash' effect, in that the Bahamian people could turn towards the 'accused' (aka HKS) in an effort to retaliate against negative press, comments, etc. from the U.S. Remember that the Bahamas is dependent on 'tourist' dollars for their economy, and they do not want to lose their livelyhood....(but you should also think about how things played out in Aruba?)

Excellent point. If we let them be, for now, it could play out agains HKS. However, if we pressure too strongly, the Bahamians could adopt a "you can't tell us what to do" attitude which could, indeed, play toward HKS's position.
