Quote From: trotphotoJust watched the show 1/19/06 with Natalee's Mom. I guess the boycott of the island has got some people running around and covering their buts. It is so frustrating to see this "ambassador" spewing niceities- I mean , I just don't get it- if he thinks they are guilty , why are they still out there and free?? Why is that so complicated ?
There are cases like this in Canada and the United States. "Thinking" someone is guilty is a far cry from having sufficent evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That is the standard we have all decided is appropriate before incarceration is justified (except in the US "war on terror"). In this case, I doubt the prosecutors have sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Natalee is dead, let alone who killed her.
I agree that it is very frustrating when a crime is unsolved. I know it must be horrible for Natalee's family not to know about her. There are lots of unsolved missing person cases in the US, Mexico, Canada and Europe too. Boycotting Aruba is a pointless action unless you are also willing to promote a tourism boycott of every territory in which people are missing and the crime is unsolved. That might bite the US harder than Aruba.
