I'll let it rest at that but I am perplexed at your inability to accept what has been stated as at least possible. It's like Ross Perot shaking his finger at everything he dislikes about government but offering no solutions for the problems he has exposed. The attackers of the Smarts and LE fail to offer anything plausible to counter the official press releases other than maybe LE is lying in an attempt to catch the perp. Maybe they are not lying. One needs to at least accept that as a possibility. The bottom line is that we do not have enough information one way or another. Without the facts in the matter it is impossible for us to determine much of anything at all.
Seems to me you have had long diatribes on your "theory" of what happend , all summer long. You are now admitting that what we have is one thing?
Elizabeth Smart is not home.
"Official press releases" are written by public relations flaks to parrot canned information to anyone willing to accept it for face value. Reputable journalists rarely accept press releases as bonifide information before digging deeper into the whys and wherefores.
sandude, in order to find what has been stated as at least possible, I would have to go through the same torturous mental gymnastics that you have gone through in order to rationalize it. As I said before, I have found MK's story implausible right from the start. Until I hear explanations that satisfy my doubts, I am perfectly content to continue questioning her story. You and others, on the other hand, seem to feel the need to come up with various "possibilities" and "explanations" in order to MAKE her story sound plausible.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why some people seem to feel that MK's story must be protected at all costs.
