While I see your point, I think the opposite is true. The rest of the world blames Americans, no matter what they do. The parents of this poor child is there just to get answers. For the most part, though not entirely, the Arubans have banned together and obfuscated the search. I think the family has been patience and tolerant beyond understanding. The rest of the world, apparently including Arubans, want the result of our hard work and capitalist economy, in this case, in the form of tourist dollars. But when we apply those same principles (hard work and persistence that helps define our national character) to get to the bottom of a problem--which in this case is probably the murder, at least the kidnapping of an American citizen--then they resent it? No, I think they are the ones who need to do the soul searching to determine the dark underworld they are trying to protect.
I'm at the point where I think some low grade torture of Joran might get some information. At least give him only bread and water until he comes forth w/some info.
I think you have to take into consideration that there are somewhere around 100,000 Aruban souls, that the entire Aruban media lumped together would probably amount to just a fraction of the FoxNews organization and that a good deal of the good things that Arubans have done in the search for Holloway have gone under-reported or have been forgotten. And, if you go back & re-read Gingersnaps' posts, she wasn't castigating the entire American media, but rather the part of the media that has departed from reporting the facts and wandered into snide editorial innuendo. There is little doubt that, in the beginning, the media attention was productive. But, as the story has lagged, decidedly counterproductive elements have certainly crept into the coverage.

Perfect!!
