It would be interesting to hear Mr. Redwood's opinion on this.

You're probably right and I'm very naive. But those e-fits seem to me so innocuous..

Remember Clarence's Cooperman news conference - there was plenty of time and money to publicise this red-herring. Why no publicity for the Smith e-fits?

I'm eagerly awaiting Clarence's denial. I've spent 5 years looking for bundleman and I'd hate to think I should have been looking for someone else.
Have you really looked for a faceless guy ?

A disturbing concept for the Nietzschean ?
I was just asking the meaning of that expression and, as the 10 commandments were on two tablets, I thought it could be the origin of a current (?) idiomatic expression.

Sorry to have been so flippant, Anne. What I meant was that the Nietzschean does not acknowledge the existence of any kind of Truth, with an upper case 'T'.

Two tablets, or tablets of stone, are very old expressions as far as I know, referring to the Ten Commandments.

I just meant that as far as sources go, the Sunday Times can hardly be compared to Mount Sinai..

Incidentally this article, if not true, could have been stopped with an injunction. It's not as if the McCanns don't have the legal clout to do this.

I wonder why, because they could be any one if they weren't two, a fact that turns them into  nobody's face.

Interesting point.

Though McCann legal bills must be running pretty high at the moment.

Precisely.

Carter Ruck do have a considerable clout, that is well known.

They would have to know about it - the paper would have contacted them (or lawyers) for comment. Of that you can be 100% certain.

A child is missing, if the article is true, it means a possible means of finding her was surpressed.

Laugh it up Anne, get out your dancing shoes and  celebrate.
