Goncalo Amaral.

cite for every other journalist in the western world knew they had been misinformed about the forensics. As I've pointed out most sceptics here it seems still believes what amaral said

Certainly anyone who had access to the DVD.....or even the TV or internet.....which, I assume, was SF.

Maybe I should have just sent the letter only.  Lowest points was 5% OK. The point was I thought you were saying the girl would not be worried because she was Portuguese.  To me that was xenophobic.

So just your Opinion.  Certainly not mine.

[Eleanor]

My point was that being Portuguese she probably still believes to this day that the McCanns were involved in their child's disappearance.  I thought that it was generally accepted by sceptics and supporters alike that the Portuguese population were generally anti the McCanns either because they dunnit or because they "neglected" their kids.  Does that make us all xenophobes then?

I have been accused of this on this Forum, despite having lived in France for the last thirty years.

so why do posters here...and all those on CMOMM...and perhaps you.. still believe the alerts and forensics were significant and what amaral was saying was true

[Brietta]

So just your Opinion.  Certainly not mine.

Nor mine.

There has been a disgraceful media blitz carried out without let up in Portugal headed by Goncalo Amaral and his cohorts in which the McCanns have been vilified and traduced.
Amaral, Cristovao and at least one other convicted torturer have appeared on popular television programmes as pundits giving their extremely flawed and one sided, mainly mistaken views.

It is hardly surprising that hearing only an unbalanced accusatory version of events from 'respected' former police officers very many Portuguese mirror the and mainline views they have been indoctrinated with from every social and media hub accessible to them.

If you are 'brainwashed' for over thirteen years it is bound to have an effect.
I don't think it is in the least Xenophobic to point that out.

There is always a way for deluded people to convince themselves that they are right, even when confronted by irrefutable evidence.

This is a sad fact that I have learned over the years on this Forum.

No idea...you’d have to ask them.

I myself don’t think the forensics are significant but as both Grimes and Harrison said the dog alerts are intelligence so not ‘ nothing’. Further I knew both things long before the ‘dogs’ interview....why didn’t SF ?

what do you understand by intelligence....

For the same reason petermac who is supposed to be  a retired senior police officer and many others still dont understand their significance. Then we have poulton...Brown...and of course pou like clowns...amaral

You’re simply deflecting now.

Are you saying that SF, a professional journalist, did not understand forensic reports in the files ?

[Robittybob1]

The McCann's lawyer made it clear in the Portuguese press in May 2009.

Maybe she didn't trust them.

[Mr Gray]

You have me blocked!

Sorry Rob... mistake

Can't put it right on my phone but will be home soon

[Eleanor]

Maybe she didn't trust them.

My thoughts.  She could probably hardly believe what she was reading having first believed Amaral.

[Robittybob1]

Sorry Rob... mistake

Well tell me when you've unblocked me.
