xsmommy, you don't need to bother pinging me to posts about corruption in Aruba. I know it's there, and it's in any other tourist haven where you have a mix of gambling, alcohol and durgs. I would never set foot there, nor in any other Caribbean island. And I pray that my beautiful, intelligent, blond daughter, who is just a little older than Natalee, never sets foot on a Caribbean island either.
However, that's beside the point of my post. Perhaps 8 out of 10 posts I've made on this topic have been attacks on the US media, who I believe are HURTING the search for Natalee, and engendering anti-American feeling for no good reason.
Anyway, if you post to me and I don't respond, I'm not ignoring you. (It's very busy for me here and sometimes I can't get around to responding for days.)
well i guess i just disagree, bc if the US media were not there along with Beth Twitty, i think this entire matter would be swept under the rug, as evidenced by their willingness to hang it on the two security guards from the get-go while letting the others walk free.
many of us are interested in the story because of having a daughter around that age. Mine is almost 17.
"US media, who I believe are HURTING the search for Natalee, and engendering anti-American feeling for no good reason."I disagree. I think the only reason the Aruban police have done anything is because of the media presence.
All of them would never have been arrested if not for Natalee's parents and our media in the first place. The two security guards probably would have taken the fall.
