Quote From: jbalke Beth and Natalee Holloway (and their family) are just as much victims of Hurricane Katrina as the people of the Gulf Coast, especially those who lost family members to violence there. If the "happy island" of Aruba thinks that Americans have not noticed that as soon as the world's media was focused elsewhere, that they released these slimeballs from custody, they can just go "check their foot" as my father in law used to say. We know exactly what they've been up to all along-a GIANT COVERUP! Anyone, American or otherwise, who goes there, knowing what happened in this case, is not only falling for this crap, but actually making the statement that it was perfectly okay for Aruban authorities to treat a tourist this way. Wise up, folks! They only want your MONEY. They don't give a damn about YOU. There are just too many other equally nice or better islands to vacation on. WHO NEEDS ARUBA and THEIR INCOMPENT POLICE DEPARTMENT and their nasty attitude.
Beth, Jug and the rest of Natalee's family and friends, God be with you. You will be in our hearts and prayers until you find your answers.

First of all I want to say that I feel very sorry for Natalee's family..
however.. you shouldn't believe texts translated by a web site.. The original (Dutch) article is very different.. Strip in Dutch is a comicbook.. (that was one of the many things i found in the translated article) so please keep in mind the credibility of the article..
Furthermore.. there are Dutch people missing in America as well.. but do we make such a fuss?
Doesn't the American Constitution include the phrase: "innocent until proven guilty" .. I thought all you Americans were so in favour of your constitution.. please be a little less hypocritical thank you.
And for the quote I used for my comment.. Julie and Jim, please watch your so *competent government* in New Orleans..
Luckily you Americans still know the virtue of compassion *oil oil oil oil*
Sorry for the sarcastic tone I used but naive people like you make me sick
