You are the one who chose to take up the issue with me. I almost want to ask why you even started arguing with me. The Aruba case was turned into a media circus. If I were the parents I would be quite angry because it interferes with the investigation.

But again, what are we talking about? If it's spinach, then fine, maybe I did start the argument, in which case I'm hereby officially backing out. If it's Natalee's disappearance, again, I don't think we disagree, do we?!

Actually I think we do. I think the Natalee Hollyway case did become a media circus, and the investigation was possibly damaged by the media.

Then we don't. I was criticizing the media's coverage of that story. My criticism focused on different objections, but I don't dispute yours.

Its like the Austrian girl Natascha Kampusch who was kidnapped and kept by her captor for about 8 years. when she escaped about 5 weeks ago it was HUGE story and now I don't even know whats happened to her. Media drops storys like hot potatoes when its not the big news anymore.
