The "cowboy" comment the other day really got under my skin. Then there is this continual PR activity (on all networks) to interview people who say how "grand" Aruba is, very little crime, peaceful, etc. Well, we all know the saying: "Me thinks thou doth protest too much." And we are all seeing that a peaceful, crime-free Aruba just "ain't" so.
Now we have this guy saying that all Natalee's family (was he a cop?) should take polygraph tests. Everyone on that island must be NUTSO, full of guava juice or something.
Three weeks and still no answers, just conflicting stories and "witnesses" and "suspects" going in and out that police station like people stuck in a revolving door.
This is going to become a really serious international incident if something does not get answered pretty quickly. It has already hurt their tourism, and they are responsible for that because of their arrogance about their "system," which, obviously is just an excuse for covering up some real sleazy things going on.
I don't know if the disappearance of Natalee was some isolated accident type thing caused by a bunch of stupid boys...or part of a larger, planned, covert criminal operation. Either way it does not matter now. So much effort is being spent on all the fringe areas of this, and little time really on the issue: WHERE IS NATALEE, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
Plus the treatment by the govt. to Natalee's parents is abominable. I would not be surprised if one or several of them don't collapse under the stress and end up being hospitalized. People just cannot go on like this, and be being treated so despicably at the same time.
I wish I had some contacts in organized crime to go there and wipe up things real fast. You know...another "family" feud type conclusion to things!
Ok...end rant now. Whew!
Ifeel your pain--and your frustration!
That Marianne Croses is a little twerp who talks like a wind-up doll. Is this the best representative the Aruban government can put on worldwide TV?
God help all the Holloways and all the Twittys. I don't know how they can stand this ordeal. They would d well to hire an excellent private detective like Gil Alba. I hear they have hired an attorney to help them wade through issues of international law. They need all the help they can get.
I wish the Big Cowboy (GWB) would make a surprise visit to Aruba.
You're right--this could turn into a major international incident. Wars have been started over less.
