Actually I think it's far more likely that most everyone in their system is corrupt than the Kalpoe brothers are murderers. You might be right, but from what I've seen--from LE to media to parents to citizens--everyone seems to be afraid or unable to speak forthrightly. Since I don't understand that, I make assumptions (which may not be correct, either)! I doubt that they are as incompetent as they seem. I recently landed at the Amsterdam airport and was quite impressed at how organized and orderly everything there was (maybe that was just in contrast to Italy where I'd been). So I don't think they're incompetent. After reading how ex-Pres. Clinton had declared Aruba a concern in the drug route from S America, I'm more ready to see them as corrupt.

My impression exactly, which I have noted previously. The Aruban news reporters seem nervous and subserviant. Not like the US reporters - who have no hesitancy about criticizing the President, the Congress and our Law Enforcement.
There is something rotten in Aruba and the Arubans are not telling.
