When in the hell are they going to STOP drilling holes in the ground that are only big enough to get a camera through?? Why not get a bulldozer, and everything else they can find, and start breaking ground?? So what if the camera had found them the FIRST time, what would they have done? They would've been breaking ground!! This is absolutely ridiculous. It makes us look like bumbling idiots. And for them to think about not retrieving the bodies for the families to have a funeral???

I'm so angry that they have not done something other than drill holes.......

Anyone w/me?

Publicity and "media worship", trying to sell her image like "Aunt Jemima" hotcakes, or pancakes, to a gullible public killed Lady Diana. I reject conspiracy theories like Charles or Clinton "had a remote control controlling" Diana's limousine to make it crash are for me ridiculous. It was an accident caused by the same publicity. What do you think?

Why do Pro-McCann people constantly refer to a Portugese 'Secrecy Law' to defend Gerry and Kate from speculation. This so called 'Secrecy Law' (and I doubt there are any Portugese lawyers posting here) only seems to apply to the McCanns and the Tapas 9 and nobody else. Firstly this is a UK Yahoo answers and secondly most of us can only read English and quote from UK media Souces - so why do Pro-McCann people constantly refer to a Portugese 'Secrecy Law' ?

Yaweh - Allah - Jehovah: Awful Lawful to all it's believers.
Every way you look at Law vs Law it's as Loser vs Loser.

Law: God of division(war), in midst of L/R sides wars
Grace: God of peace: neither makes nor takes sides

Law: God on high in midst of plural L/R heavens
Grace: God in heaven: "higher than the heavens"

2Tim3: un-holy...high-minded: from such turn away

Grace with you all. Amen.

Is this another ruse to take our minds off of important things like war, gas prices, the subhuman treatment of other human beings. I know this came up before Carl Roves resignation but who do you think come up with this crap to take our minds off of thr real world. Now he will get off scott free for starting that war & trying to Americanize the middle east & Little bushie is left holding the bag or his hand in the cookie jar & will take the rap for all of it as well he should for listening to the rats that are abandoning this sinking ship.

The two male officers that came to my home, said to me their are only two kinds of men bad ones and evil ones. If the police think this, no wonder so many women and children are being murdered in Britain and why so many children are becoming like their fathers. Then lets not forget that 98% of all peadfiles are men. I also read a report recently that said 85% of scottish men admitted to using prostitutes regularly, of these 65% were married. I know I wont be going near any Scottish men.All these thugs, and men who hit little old ladies, I read about one little old Lady who was mugged and raped she was 89 years old. Then people say to me you don't like men much,no I don't not these kinds,why should society ever accept these criminals back into society or into their homes?

The reason I ask is because it does seem so. What happened to Rys JOnes is absolutly devasting and horrible and should not have happened. It seems so many are outraged as you should be but in the US this happens so often you don't even hear about it except maybe 30 seconds on your local news station. A while back I had asked why British Police did not carry guns and my sons British Soccer coach was telling me the other day they sign them out if they need them but for the most part they don't need them. I sure hope in your country immigration stops the gun smuggling and the authorities figure out how these folks that get them and spends some time and money doing so. I would hate for you to have to live in the fear of irresponsible gun use as we do here in the US. You can buy a gun in the US at Walmart and while I understand hunting is a really big sport something has to happen to stop making it so darn easy to get them.

reading this article is quite hypocritical, he wants the media to be "low key" now but not before, maybe the pressure of the truth is getting to him , if he stops begging for donation, meeting top officials, being a guest at the Edinburgh festival, maybe the media will stop.

I don't quite understand why the owner of the Utah mine is giving up. He wouldn't want his family member buried in a mine instead of having an honorable and proper burial. What are they planning on doing, leave them down there forever? He doesn't have to risk lives by sending any more people in the mine, but heck, keep drilling until you find bodies. I wouldn't care how much it cost, even If I have to raise money on the street....Dig those bodies up!

This has got to be a nightmare for those people.

“Kate and I were incredibly shocked to hear of the news [of Rhys Jones]. It is a terrible waste of a young life. They, of course, have our sympathy,” he said.

He added that he hoped Rhys’s parents were given time to grieve. But he revealed some of his own torment in a direct comparison between the McCann and the Jones families.

“Both sets of parents are in the middle of terrible traumas. They, however, will have closure. We don’t,” he said. "

So even with your son shot to death with a bullet in an instance of neither Rhys or his parents making, they are still in a better position than poor Gerry.

The absolute cheek of the man knows no bounds!

Why are they so reluctant to come forward and help the police solve this murder?

A police spokesman on tv news has just said that Rhys was in the wrong place at the wrong time!
This despite the boys father previously saying that this conclusion was unacceptable & wrong.
His Son was going about his normal life doing what he always did in the place he always did.
I think it is an appalling statement for the police to say & is just a way for them to avoid any responsibility for what has happened!
The police are paid to protect innocent people from acts such as this & they are failing to do so despite having all the powers they could possibly need!
Where, why, wasn't there a police prescense in the area as there used to be when I was young?
A policeman lived in & was part of every community & was known to & knew everyone!
It was a much safer environment to live in then.
Now the police are segregated from the public who they are trained to see as criminals.
It's time we had a police force we deserve & pay for, they are failing us miserably!
What do you think?

what is so difficult about not hitting soldiers that are on your side? are they jut gunning for a kill - getting blood lust which blinds them [making them worse animals than saddam]
or are they so cr*p at their job that they cannot tell the difference between british soldiers and a bunch of teatowel wearing ragheads?

its bad enough our guys are out there at all [thanks to ars*e kissing Tony Blair] but to be shot up by a bunch of "trigger happy nearly rights" is taking it one step too far!

I really think that the media is a huge part of this problem. Cho mailed that tape to NBC knowing full well it would get blasted out there, and even though he died, he got what he wanted - these crazy people do these things for the negative attention and the media needs to quit giving it to them, and I think if they do quit these events will slow down.

I really believe people died because the media keeps blasting this stuff.

it's like a kid who misbehaves, usually if you ignore them they quit. If you give them negative attention they keep acting up. It's the same thing. These killers are just like spoiled little kids.

somebody please listen to me before more people die.

Seriously, instead of putting the best that America has to offer out on the front lines to die for our country and leave behind their families and children, why don't we just take all the rapists, serial killers, and child molesters and convicts of that nature and send them out on the front line. Think about it. We'd be ridding society of its worst members, let alone the fact that most of them would be seeing a death row sentence anyway. Also, the argument of "they're people too, ya know" is null and void. The minute a person decided to kill and rape and break the law, their well being means nothing anymore. Their rights are no longer in question since they didn't care when they did their crime. I'd much rather hear that 40 serial killers and child molesters died in the war on terror one day on the news instead of hearing about good men and women dying out there. Think about it.

I have family and friends who ride the Washington State Ferries everyday and I recently heard about possible terrorist attacks on these ferries and that two men have been cited as possible terrorists.....Does anyone have an idea when these attacks could take place? Does anyone have any conspiracy's as to what day? Could it be on 9-11?

9-11 is 911 so it was on obvious to preform those acts, can anyone think of any other days??

Give me your thoughts and ideas. When this could happen, what they would do, any specific times? I want to know as much as I can about this for the safety of my family and friends.

Thanks.
