Yes he was an evil man....but doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? I'm not sure what I believe the right thing to do in this situation was. If it was your family being tortured or your daughter being raped by him, you would probably go balistic and want him dead? What is your opinion?

A poster earlier posted that Kate had gone through the front door to check on her kids. But this would have been highly unusual. She and Gerry had left the Patio Doors unlocked so they could easily enter the apartment. So why on this particular occasion would she have gone to all the effort of going through the front door and having to fish out her keys, when she knew the patio doors were open and she had presumably used those for the other checks.

"When Kate went in about 10pm she immediately knew something was wrong because an internal door banged shut as she opened the front door - meaning a window was open somewhere."

However in the Times.

"The rear patio doors to the apartment had been left unlocked to allow easy access for regular checks by the parents."

1/ Freedom of speech: Have you seen what happens if you speak out in the US against the government? Or the War ? Or anything? That isn't freedom of speech.

2/ The Media: Have you read anymore biased papers than an American one ?

3/ Political party "electioneering": What in the name of ****** do the American parties do around election time ?

First Putin, spewing off the same stuff Gorby stated(Don't build that Star-Wars stuff...or else!!), and now China(which has to steal or buy everyone elses missiles/rockets/technologies to even get on the map) has played into this as well.

In light of rogue States like Iran, and North Korea, the US cannot get a shield up fast enough, so what is Russia and China really clamoring about...that their precious missles they now posses will soon become defunct, non-useable, and impotent, which of course that's the main card communism plays off(intimidation and force).

Game over!

With the government (State and Fed) earning anywhere from 26.4-68.4 cents per gallon, and oil companies only earning 10 cents, can you honestly say that the "Big Oil Companies" are gouging us?

Your son has goofed up big time. As a direct result of this, your darling Grand-daughter is lost & missing. Would you curse & hurl abuses at your son or would you support him in in his bid to right his wrong by spreading media awareness in an attempt to get Madeleine back.

I’m so pissed with constantly hearing about Giuliani and 9/11that I don’t even know how to word this question.
Just what the heck did Rudolph Giuliani do on 9/11 that he and others is giving him so much praise for?
2603 people died in the World Trade Center fire.
I still can’t understand why when the plane was crashed into the building, why weren’t the people immediately evacuated.
I heard reports of firefighters; police and others doing their jobs to save lives and other hero citizens that risked their lives to save others; but just what did Giuliani do?
Did he go into the building and carry someone out? Did he lead others to safety?
Please enlighten me.

OK, this is not about the McCanns leaving their babies unattended.
That was inexusable & they (worse for them, their Madeleine is) paying the terrible price for it.
With that out of the way, i'd like to raise the other angle that some of our wiseguys
love to point to...That there is "something fishy" going on, that Madeleine's parents
have some deep dark sinister secret (other than leaving their babies alone) to hide,
maybe they've sold her (???), maybe there was a horrible "accident" & trash like that.

IF, they did, will someone please tell me why Gerry McCann writes such a boring blog
& doesn't get all weepy & waily to increase his sympathisers & get the heat off him?
Why are they taking the trouble to keep the case alive & fresh, instead of sobbing
crocodile tears & lying low (anyone would understand & forgive them that...)
Why are they leaving their twins (knowing the flak they'll get for it) just to
ensure that Madeleine's case gets more coverage?
I'm confused. Surely 2 parents guilty of a sinister crime against their own baby
wouldn't point fingers to themselves...
OR maybe they made a horrible terrible decision & are now doing the best
they can to right it (to get their baby back) based on the advice given by experts
(who do know more about such cases than any of our YA wiseguys)...

Anyone who would like to answer this, please do so within 20minutes...
i've found that my innocent little posts are being reported & taken off
despite not being the least bit abusive...Real healthy mature attitude...

A slim hope but hope is all the McCanns have left. It is not about money, publicity, visiting the Pope, aircraft trips, the academic qualifications and careers of the couple or anything else, this is about a lost child, period.

All decent people will have sympathy with this family in their time of desperate need and will admire their brave fight to keep this tragedy in the public eye.
