News & Events - June 2007

In last Friday's (25/5) interviews, the McCanns were given a very easy time by the interviewers. Does anyone know whether the questions had to be agreed in advance with their lawyers and spin doctors? The BBC have so far failed to respond to my questions.

Also, why was one of the first things the McCanns did to hire these lawyers and media advisors, rather than people who could actually help in the search for Madeleine, such as private investigators, who Gerry McCann says aren't even 'on the agenda'? Very early on, uncle John McCann said one reason for wanting donations was to pay for mounting legal bills, which immediately aroused my suspicions. Lawyers and media advisors are normally only hired on this scale if people have something to hide.

Or Arab or Pakistani for that matter?

We'd have hundreds of threads about how "those people" bring illnesses to the "civilized world," no?

But now, it's all quiet in the Western Front.

afterall the guy's Pa-in-law is a Disease Control Admin. for the Gov't..and why did he decide to sneak into the Country through
Canada?..

"His father-in-law is Robert C. Cooksey, a research microbiologist at the CDC, Cooksey said in a statement issued today by the CDC. Cooksey, who has worked for the agency for 32 years and holds a position in the division of Tuberculosis Elimination, said Speaker's infection had no connection to the CDC. He said he didn't advise his son-in-law to travel while ill. "

Bloomberg News..6/1/07

my guess is a budget-windfall request from the CDC..to upgrade Homeland Security or to ridicule it to gain agency domain over border screenings for incoming legal visitors..

but to continue to look the other way when it comes to illegal workers..
(who for an example.. are completely responsible for the outbreak of Bedbugs..in the US but never referenced as the source.)

In my mind, the day they chose to wilfully neglect their parental responsibilities and expose their daughter to untold terror is the day they forfeited their rights to have me write only 'kindly' words about them.

Get real people. You need to start thinking more about Madeleine and what shes going through rather than her parents. And no the two points arent necessarily entertwined. It IS possible to want to find Madeleine but still be against the parents.

What part of that do the McCann supporters have trouble understanding?

I am just curious who here feels what about this missing child case. It sure is getting a lot of publicity considering they aren't the only parents with missing kids by far! I personally could not fathom ANY parents loss such as this, but I also would NEVER leave my kids even at my OWN HOME for more than 5 minutes let alone in a foreign country for an entire meal!!! I just think that was completely irresponsible! Anyone agree or not??

What a horrible story. 18 year old babysitter laid toddlers down for a nap and then took one her self. When she woke up both toddlers were missing and found in nearby pond. This girl is a relative. Should she be held accountable? Was this just a mistake that she will have to live with for the rest of her life? Do people not watch the news and see what happens when you leave a toddler unsupervised properly. Good Grief...I think I might just handcuff my toddler to me for now on. It is so scarey.
