I totally agree wtih Ken5050 -the only thing Aruba will udnerstand is if there is a boycott and the money stops pouring in from Americans going there. The idea that the parents can't know what is going on is totally ludicrous. This is their daughter that is gone. I can't imagine being shut out from proceedings and being totally in the dark. Does anyone know how to get a message of support to Natalee's mom? I heard her say that is what is keeping her going are the letters of support.

Even though we "can't imagine" being shut out of legal proceedings, it is a real learning experience. They are sooo proud of doing things "their way"...I could just scream.

BTW, I'm wondering if given what we know about Joran's lie about where he originally left off Natalee, IF (in this county), a Grand Jury would have indicted him? Anyone?
