We don't have the resources to check the quality of these imports, and the risks are growing each day. I would rather have less choices and pay a little bit more,than risk my health and welfare to second rate products. How do you feel about this?

GERRY'S BLOG: "We finished with a very quick tour of the public areas in the White House which is a very impressive building and we also met one of the Presidents Scottish terriers! "

Wow - that is definately going to help - must be great meeting the President's scottish terriers - I am sure that is going to really help his daughter out. Gerry just loves all the VIPing he is getting to do now, he could be forgiven for forgetting about Maddy couldn't he? Of course the UK media (Express excluded) apparently have and are fully behind the McCanns version of things - must be all those great lawyers the fund has paid for working on them behind the scenes....

American TV journalists grilled Gerry about why he and his wife Kate did not hire a babysitter to watch their three children as they dined with friends on the night she was taken.

It follows a campaign in Portugal where there have been calls for the couple to be prosecuted for leaving their children alone in their holiday apartment.

The McCanns have faced increased criticism after details were leaked to the Portuguese media of alleged inconsistencies in statements by the McCanns and their friends.

An article in Sol magazine accused Madeleine’s parents and other families in their holiday group of hiding behind a “pact of silence”.

The report said: “Madeleine’s parents and the friends with whom they spent their holidays are suspects in the inquiry. There are contradictory versions about the night of the kidnapping and an assumed pact of silence in the group.”

By the media I mean TV, newspapers, newsmagazines and radio primarily. Should they be neutral until the potential candidate is nominated by a convention of a political party?

he lacks respect for other people
he humiliates other people
he does not adapt herself to the norms of society for human behaviour
he lies
he deceives other people just for fun
he is irritable and aggressive
he does not understand the serious consequences her behaviour can cause his in the future
You can help him by trying to make him aware of how his thoughts and behaviour, so normal for him, are so different from most other people. Point out that he will hurt himself in the long run, because his behaviour will result in him having many enemies.

People with anti-social personality disorder, also called psychopaths, . If they are in positions where they have power and authority, they may ruin the lives of lots of people. They are often very convincing and are very good at getting what they want. Sometimes the best way to deal with this kind of people, is to avoid all contact and cooperation with them.

ONLY A THOUGHT BUT WOW IT SEEMS TO DESCRIBE HIM TO A T

If it is The Express that breaks the mould and starts questioning the behaviour of the McCanns I would buy it even though as a rule it is a paper I have never read or liked.

If this doesn't highlight how the whole thing is just a big media circus, nothing does. He doesn't care about finding Madeleine. He's just out there to give the biggest scoop to the media organisation who presumably probably 'donates' the most amount of money to the fund.

This is a quote from Greta Van Susteren, a Fox News reporter in the US.

"We could not air it last night — we wanted to air it last night but Dr. McCann asked us to hold the interview for 24 hours as a condition for doing the interview. I suspect he promised some other network the first interview and thus the requirement that we hold our interview for 24 hours. "

I thought he wanted to publicise Madeleine's disappearance to everyone. Not play one media outlet against another by offering an 'exclusive'.

Can you believe he actually told people 'NOT' to run a story until it was at a time he was happy with.

"The mothers of five children killed in a house fire surrendered to police Thursday to face involuntary manslaughter charges for allegedly leaving the youngsters alone while they went to a bar."

"Shakita Mangham, 25, arrived at municipal court early Thursday. Furaha Love, 25, turned herself in at police headquarters a short time later."

"Love also said later that she knew there was no baby sitter, and that the children had been left in the care of two 8-year-olds."

"Her attorney Ernest Sharif has said the women left the children for 15 to 20 minutes and that Love had one beer at the bar.

"It wasn't a party thing," he said."

I would hope so given the similarities in the case. And just so you know, they are still in prison awaiting trial. Compare and contrast with the McCanns.

that saddly, young children will be neglected again by way of being left alone to fend for themselves, and if the police try to prosecute the other neglecters, the maccann case can be used a a point of reference, by the other neglecters in any futher prosecutions, to stop them.

"In 2001, coalition forces destroyed Zarqawi's Afghan training camp, and he fled the country and he went to Iraq, where he set up operations with terrorist associates long before the arrival of coalition forces. In the violence and instability following Saddam's fall, Zarqawi was able to expand dramatically the size, scope, and lethality of his operation. In 2004, Zarqawi and his terrorist group formally joined al Qaida, pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden, and he promised to "follow his orders in jihad. Soon after, bin Laden publicly declared that Zarqawi was the "Prince of Al Qaida in Iraq" — and instructed terrorists in Iraq to "listen to him and obey him." It's hard to argue that al Qaida in Iraq is separate from bin Laden's al Qaida, when the leader of al Qaida in Iraq took an oath of allegiance to Osama bin Laden. According to our intelligence community, the Zarqawi-bin Laden merger gave al Qaida in Iraq — quote — "prestige among potential recruits and financiers."
