The British Press, and many people here on this forum, are continually failing to account for the differences in British and Portuguese investigative procedures.
The police do not have to think the McCanns 'had something to do with' their daughter's death in order for them to be declared official suspects. The designation in Portuguese is a legal mechanism that affords certain protections to someone when the police want to ask them certain difficult questions.
I wouldn't worry though, you are not alone in your readiness to point the finger, or to suggest the Police believe more than they actually do. Apparently Mrs McCann was jeered by some sections of the crowd when she returned to the police station this morning.
