Found this on a forum and I support it. No matter what Natalee may have
worn, how she may have looked or acted, she didn't deserve to disappear and
be forgotten. The Aruban officials have stalled, flubbed and plain didn't
do the job. They never intended to find out about Natalee for fear of the
damage to their "industry", tourism. The world has seen it. Folks, don't
send your kid on a vacation to such a place, they may not come back.
Has it occurred to you that this announcement was made on election day?
Why do you think that is? It is pretty amazing to see how deep
politicians will stoop in their quest for some more votes.
I am convinced that Aruban authories will allow the rule of law to
prevail despite this blackmail

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Gov. Bob Riley called for a nationwide travel
boycott of Aruba on Tuesday until authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island
cooperate more fully with the family of a teenager who has been missing
since May.
Riley asked the governors of the other 49 states to join him in urging a
boycott of Aruba on behalf of the family of Natalee Holloway, the
18-year-old Mountain Brook High graduate last seen on the island on May 30.
Her mother, Beth Holloway-Twitty, joined Riley at the Alabama Capitol for
the boycott announcement. She contends Aruban authorities have failed to
adequately investigate the possible murder of her daughter, who was with a
Dutch teenager and two Surinamese brothers on the night she disappeared.
The young men were held for a time but have been released.

I'm inclined to agree. I can't believe that the Aruban government folks are
thinking that this refusal to find Natalie's killer is *helping* their
image. I am willing to bet that they don't have enough evidence to prove
these the suspects did anything so arresting them does no good since the
government is unable to prove their guilt. Which means momma holloway would
then whine and moan about that as well. Let's face it. She is a mother, she
wants blood, and she could shit care less whose it is at this point. My fear
is that the Aruban government does ram these three idiots in jail and then
we find out that they didn't do it. Like the whole Larry Condit thing....
where no matter how much the family of the intern bitched and moaned, Condit
didn't murder their daughter.
