Yea, digested and threw it up ... as I do most of what you write.
Here is Tom Smart's "beautiful story" comment. The word he actually used is "wonderful".
Tom Smart, message to the kidnapper tonight, what do you have to say?
SMART: I believe that this person is not a bad person at all. And our family has felt strongly for a while. And there's been a comfort here for a while. This is just somebody who actually likes Elizabeth. We don't know -- we have issues. We've been ripped apart by our polygraph. I don't know who has done what with my brothers.
We all have issues. Anybody's taken -- we've been ripped apart to the core. And we understand that everybody has issues. And we pray hard that whoever this is will know that the family is full of compassion towards everybody because this is a wonderful story, in a lot of ways.
