The over coverage of this no longer news worthy item is now showing the ignorance and the arrogance of the uninformed. I saw a group on tv today demanding that the FBI take over the investigation in Aruba. I guess someone forgot to inform them that Aruba is an independent sovereign nation and not under Dutch or US rule.
Aruba has its own police force and they can surely do the real detection work better than the FBI or Dutch officials. They know their country. Next, the law is totally different there than in the US or Holland. If the evidence is not uncovered and presented by the Aruban police authorities, it is unadmissable as evidence. The FBI has far from a perfect record at home. What makes one think they can do better than the Arubans? Ditto for the Dutch police. Both the FBI and the Dutch police are providing Aruba with forensics and logistics. That is as far as it goes by law. Neither have complained about their role in this case. It is people like cable news big pundits who are stirring up the shit , all to get ratings. Do outsiders think the Arubans are too stupid and unsophisticated to do a good job? Almost smells of rasicm to me. If the parents of this girl acted to the police in Alabama the way they are said to be acting towards the Aruban police they would find themselves in deep shit.
