In civilized society, how does an innocent person not stand up to interogation?

What does Amnesty International (ack!) say about Aruba? Think I'll surf on that...bbl.

yeah, I have to go back to view the irony of the quote that the Aruban officials (loosely quoted) "we can't go in like cowvboys" used a few days ago...when the essence of their justice system is to do just that, they held 2 completely innocent minorities on the basis of finger pointing.They held and sullied the name of 2 innocent persons (and their families) without the benefit of a lawyer and the higher threshold of evidence that is demanded in the American system.

I sense that their prejudices toward the American system is based on ignorance and an annoying false sense of superiority...how many times have you heard "you don't understand our system" with an air of arrogance and assumption of American "stupidity". I am so glad that Beth Holloway and the American Media cleaned the official's clock, for too long the "Aruban Officials" have been the essence of the "cowboy " justice that they wrongly accused our more fair system of justice of.

Of late they have changed their tune...but the arrogance and demeaning attitude of the officials on this Island has not been lost on me.
