Any need for being pedantic ?

I'm not saying the family are above suspicion. People murder their children, that's a fact and its sufficient grounds to ask whether that happened here. It's not sufficient grounds for endless speculation however and it isn't sufficient grounds for the police to throw hour after hour of intense investigation at it in the hope that sooner or later, something will turn up.

I don't doubt for a second that they will have looked at how the parents behaved during a press conference but once again, it is a fallacy to make more of this than is actually the case. Asking questions and making enquiries does not infer that the police believe someone is guilty.

And we return again to the issue of Portuguese law - if the police had been pursuing the McCanns with the same intensity as they have Robert Murat, whay have the McCanns not yet been declared official suspects?
Whose making more of it than it is ? I back up another post that says it should not be completely ignored. And the people who I work with and for, are of the opinion that in someway the parents are linked to this. It's a course of topic that cant be gotten away from.

Whose to say the Portugese have not cocked up ? It would not be the first time in this investigation that they had now. Would it ?


What really really hacks me off in all of this is the media circus that it has become. How many children have gone missing since the disappearance of Maddy ? and have they collectively received one tenth of the column inches that she has ? That is a the real disgrace (albeit for a completely different thread)
