If the women ask for the press to come in, and the conditions are found to be reasoned, then they look all the more suspect. Don’t you agree?
If the conditions aren’t good (and I don’t have any reason at this point to suspect they aren’t), then they should be improved.
I don’t see a down side here. The government’s case isn’t jeopardized by this.
Except in the case of the 137 volunteers who left, who are most likely alpha-females for want of a better term, they are truly accessories to the crimes of child abuse and rape.
Minor children can’t be shown. So sure — gather them all up for a rollicking press junket and while they are gone, move the kids to an undisclosed location.
They are free to leave and free to talk to the press.
The article was Re: cell phones and Governor Perry.
The FLDS said:
FLDS faithful outside the shelter are convinced Sunday's court order is a direct result of the women speaking to the newspaper.
But they are there voluntarily. If I go voluntarily to a restaurant that says, “No cell phones.” If I don't like it, I leave. They too can leave.
It's not for the FLDS members to say the minor children are in a poor environment when they were picked up for child endangerment. Probable criminal child endangerment.
