Sorry McGrath - this is not a mugging. Because you can't imagine something does not make it true.

"The other side" is not the point. The point is that there are questions that deserve to be asked and answers that would fill in the story. If you can't recognize that there is information missing, then you have obviously made up your mind.

If there is an investigation going on, who would expect answers right away?

If you are all sold that the BBC is unbiased and the best in the world, then there is little opportunity for discussion. That kind of blind faith in any single source is dangerous. It is the same thing as believing the crap fed out by Fox. Think for yourselves - ask questions.

For the last time - I am not saying that the original story is not true. These girls could have been mistreated. They certainly feel that the were. It could also open up a significant problem in the way ALL children are treated - not just a couple of kids on vacation from another country.

Think for yourselves - you are smart people but you fail to ask questions and accept anything that is handed to you - merely because you trust the source. Use common sense and ask questions. NONE of us know what happened. I certainly have no idea other than a few quotes.
