Natalee Holloway Investigation: Jossy Mansur with Greta Van Susteren … On the Record (2/11/08) Aruban Public Turns on Joran Van der Sloot

“The attitude of the people who were standing behind him before has changed and they all want to see this man leave the island.” (Jossy Mansur)

The pendulum has swung in the attitude of public opinion in Aruba as the Peter R. DeVries tapes have shown all a window into what Joran Van der Sloot is really like when no one is around and the public cameras are off.

Discussion with the Legal Round Table 

Did Hell Just Freeze Over … Hillary Clinton Praised Fox News?

Well this ranks right up there with things I thought I would never hear.

Was that a pig that just flew by? Did hell just freeze over? In what can only be one of the signs of the apocalypse, Hillary Clinton actually just praised FOX News coverage, in the wake of the David Shuster pimpin’ fiasco and continued MSNBC bias coverage. Hey Hillary, isn’t this is the same Fox News network that you and the rest of the Democrat Presidential hopefuls refused to participate in a debate on. Who knew Fox News was more “fair and balanced” than MSNBC … besides everybody.

Tonight, the Politico’s John Harris asked Clinton for her thoughts on the situation during an interview that aired on Washington, D.C.’s local ABC affiliate WJLA:

Clinton said that her staff had sent her “some independent study” “which seemed to suggest that” “in terms of the fairness of the coverage,” Fox News Channel has treated her campaign more fairly than MSNBC.

Aruban OM says the decision about arresting Joran will not be made until wednesday. The courts gave Jorans attorney until wednesday to make his “vision”about the case clear.

UPDATE I: John Q. Kelly on Fox – How much more of a confession do they need to arrest Joran van der Sloot?

Natalee Holloway Investigation: Witchhunt, its Called Justice! Hans Mos & Aruba if You Screw this Up … Wait Until You See What Happens to Tourism

Why does Hans Mos, OM, and Aruba continue to protect Joran Van der Sloot?

So Joran, does that mean when the rest of the time that you smoke pot, you are lying to? It’s not like this is the first time you have ever smoked. Hans Mos, the Aruban public prosecutor has made the following comment regarding the Peter R. De Vries tapes and Joran Van der Sloot.

If necessary, the OM will also protect the suspect Joran van der Sloot.  The OM is also of the opinion that yesterday’s words of Justice-minister Rudy Croes were premature.  Croes wants to declare Joran van der Sloot persona non grate.

“The boy is not convicted yet; besides, there are a whole lot of judicial hurdles ahead, before he can be refused admission to Aruba. He is legally admitted anyway”, was the reaction of the OM. 

Then Mos makes this ridiculous comment after the poor job that Aruba has provided in handling the case of missing and presumed deceased Natalee Holloway.

“The interest for this case seems to degenerate into a witch hunt, whereby several people are being menaced in an intimidated manner”, is the opinion of justice.  To the OM, these practices are ‘unacceptable’. 

No, Hans … its not a witch hunt. Its called people demanding justice for an obvious crime and an obvious suspect where Aruban police and maybe even prosecutors and judges have knowingly looked the other way and provided a cover up. I have never seen such a child like, ignorant and and obtuse form of rational and reasoning when it comes to putting the facts together to prosecute a crime. It’s as though the only way they can prosecute the case is for Joran Van der Sloot to literally write down on a piece of paper that he did it and sign it. However, even them he may claim he was high.

What is “unacceptable”, is the fact that almost three years later … Aruba has not properly investigated, nor prosecuted any suspect for the crimes against Natalee Holloway. It took a Dutch crime reporter to provide … JUSTICE FOR NATALEE.

Beth Holloway and Peter R. De Vries with Geraldo Rivera

Beth: You know we’ve really tried to be so careful in Natalee’s investigation to stick with the known facts and it is a known fact that the only medical question that they did ask us, the only one question as far as medical issues, was does Natalee have a history of epilepsy or seizures and that was within the first 48 hours of her disappearance, so we just have to lay the facts out there and they kind of speak pretty loudly that if we hear that within 48 hours of her disappearance and we take it 2 1/2 years later and I think when I, not only just to hear Joran say this but I even see him imitate her body actions as she’s suffering, so I’m thinking you know, it’s hard not to put those two things together.
