Thanks, howlin.
Anyone can see that this whole thing was set up to portray the Van der Sloots in the same light as Beth Holloway--as agonizing parents. The interview was orchestrated to evoke pity for Anita and Paulus.
BOO-HOO: Anita cannot discuss the case with Joran. BOO-friggin' HOO-- she wants to bring him clean sheets. He doesn't have enough water to shave. His showers are all too brief.
I swear she was making me sick to my stomach. The big brute is ALIVE and she CAN SEE HIM.
Meanwhile, where is Natalee? When will her mother see her again??
Precisely!
I wonder if it has crossed those people's minds to do something -- anything -- how about the RIGHT THING?-- for instance, go down to the jail and tell their so to TELL THE DAMN TRUTH. I mean, is that so hard to do?
I have thought long and hard about this -- and I just cannot EVER think of ANY situation where I wouldn't go down there and smack the crap out of my kid, regardless of their age, and MAKE them tell the truth.
A MOTHER KNOWS........we all know they KNOW!
And I'm sorry, but something IS going on here; you just do NOT question a punk 17 year old for 11 hours a day for almost three weeks and NOT have the answers!
I shall now retreat, as I have had my *fit* for the night......LOL.
Joran may be a spoiled brat, but any parents would react as his are doing if their child was accused of such a horrendous crime.
He may well be guilty, but since none of us were there, we really don't know for sure yet -- do we.
