News from SKY re Madeliene's parents' press conference this afternoon:

"They had hoped that a special bookmark with Madeleine's photograph could be placed in every copy of the new Potter book. But now it is understood that posters of Madeleine will be put up on cash desks at bookshops instead."

This story show the hypocritical nature of the State of Israel... they are enlslaving, torturing, murdering, exterminating the Palestinians, but when they need them they free them to do thier dirty work. All of these prisoners who are freed will come back to Israel to get justice for thier illegal detentions by any means neccessary.

You can clearly see who wants peace in this conflict and who wants to purposely wage war and ethnic cleansing.

Israel is the new South Africa. BOYCOTT ISRAEL (and write your Congressperson to do the same also).

I read a supposedly reliable British paper (hint: it says it's independent) on-line just now. The article had a factual mistake in it. I'm not going to describe the mistake. All I am saying is that I know 100% that this newspaper article got an obvious fact wrong, because I checked different reliable sources. And a few weeks ago I again saw a very bad and very obvious factual mistake in yet another popular 'news'paper. I'm not talking of prejudices, just the basic facts that were wrong.

Don't journalists/writers check their facts before publishing it? I am quite disappointed because this is not the first time. How can we trust any newspaper with the important stuff if small but important facts are not correct? Where are the standards?

This is why I take everything- every economic discussion, opinion piece, celebrity speculation and so on with a sack of salt, nevermind a grain/pinch! It's scary.

Have you also read blatant blunders in a supposedly 'good' source?

So one kid has been kidnapped and she's got a sweet face...big deal. There are thousands of kids who suffer each and every day at the hands of abusive parents, through disease and poor economic conditions in general, or simply because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time. If a tenth of the money spent on the McCanns were spent on disadvantaged children, the effect would be positive and immediate and lives would be saved without the speculation of the outcome of a criminal investigation. Let's get a grip on things here, if the McCanns are worth an audience with the Pope, what about somebody representing the thousands and thousands of starving and abused kids in Africa.......or is it that a starving black kid doesn't look quite so cute on a poster ?

Why have they set it up as a business instead of a charity? I have my views but was wondering if anyone can think of a genuine reason that the Mccanns would do this. Charitable donations are tax exempt aren't they? Why would you not take advantage of this? And where is the money going to?

Jane Tanner, the woman who "saw" a man carring a child on the night Madeleine went missing said, in the beginning, that she saw a man carrying a "bundle" that MAY have been a child? All the Police reports and subsequent media articles stated that. Police asked if anyone saw someone carrying something that could maybe have been a child?

NOW, Jane Tanner is not only sure it WAS a child, but can describe the blonde hair and even the colour of the pajamas. She can also describe the man, right down to his shoes, even though it was dark.

So, her testimony has gone, in one huge leap, from a "bundle, maybe a child" to a "blonde child wearing pink pajamas" yet this seems to be brushed under the carpet? How is her testimony going to be used? Why are the PJ not homing in on these discrepancies more? And why not one single mention of this in the media? Should Jane Tanners evidence be used, or should it be discounted? Do you believe her "sighting"

Please lets put all other issues on one side and think about this. Due to the vast amounts of money either donated or offered in reward money, what I find so frightening is the way this could be observed by 'organised crime'. There have already been 'bogus' funds and it strikes me that the whole issue of the disappearance of Madeleine is being watched and noted. Thousands of families are going on holiday with their children and whereas before they would consider their children reasonably safe has this turn of events I mean from the money side of the issue put their children in more danger? The vast amount of money being collected is mindblowing, the way it is being spent whether true or not seems to be adding fuel to the fire, I seem to be putting this in a rather muddled way but I think a more considered and dignified approach should have been taken where the money is concerned. What do you think about this? May you all have a happy and safe holiday.

According to todays papers.

It all seems to be centering around Murat as far as the papers are telling us.

Could he really be guilty?

Why are the McCanns still wandering about like they have done nothing wrong?

Has everyone gone insane. The Catholic Church will pay $600million to keep Pedophile priest out of jail and still on the job. Molesting children is the #1 most horrible crime.

the fundos and the terrorists are creatin a hell for all moderate pakistani ppl. so what can be done? history has shown that no bbody could rule that area from alex the great to the russians to the brits ( 1st afagan and 2nd afgan wars), the usa and the nato has also not been able to do much. the paki govt has not enough resources and most of the paki army is full of these ppl.
I suggest to give them a new country and let them do there as they wish call it pashtunistan ( a deram of many of the phatans living in that area) as pashtu is the dominat lingo of the area. pashtuns live in the north of pakistan and in afganistan. let them be a new state and leave the rest of us innocent ppl in peace. usa is just wasting its money and time for these wild
fanatics who are ready to die and kill ppl who are innocent.
the usa and nato and pakistan can keep a check on the borders no lives will be lost and there will be peace for all.

!!!!!!!!!!! you all are blind if think that these rediculous american media tell you the truth about America and its government! the fact is obvious, you can see iraq and its killed people, Some of you say that the situation now in Iraq is better than what Saddam made, but it is not a good reason to enter a country and kill the people who do not want americans,just to the name of making there peacefull. Also if you are a wise human, you can see what Seyhonism did with phalestine and your government just is one of the fans!!!!

Where can I read more about the story? I heard about it on the radio, but have not been able to find it in the newspapers. And please don't tell me it didn't happen or attack me for mentioning this unpleasant story. I have said nothing racist. Just help me find a printed account of the scenario. Thanks a lot. May peace prevail on earth. May those ANY and all hate mongers perish.

I liked his first film, and then he kinda lost me. His ego got as big as his waist and now he likes to show one side of every story, which is not good journalism. I respect his his right to state his opinions, but they should be presented that way. He's so into sensationalism he loses any chance of telling a intelligent story.

This is just my opinion.
