Does the Madeleine McCann case warrant a Public Inquiry?

[Carana]

His job was to destroy Amaral, the Ciprianos were just convenient stooges.

That's a loaded assumption, Angelo.

Now explain to me why not only didn't he defend João Cipriano but - by his own admission - tricked him into a confession?

The idea that the McCanns somehow orchestrated this makes no sense to me as it would be the equivalent of saying that Kate was somehow involved, but not that much, and that Gerry was the real bad guy.

Not really likely, is it?

A different point is that his view, supposedly based on his supernatural contacts or something, is that both children are dead.

Isn't the idea that Madeleine may still be alive what the McCanns have been fighting for? No one knows what happened to Joana... but as no one has been actively searching for her since Amaral appeared on the scene, that's not really surprising.

You're having a laugh surely Sadie?  Pro bono   

I am deadly serious.  I remember that he did certain work on the Madeleine case pro bono, but I am no longer sure which work.

Right on the mark.

I think Kate was quite right to use the words F U C K I N G  T O S S E R

Coming after your little Moroccan girl is Maddie claims that must be taken with a tiny pinch of salt.

How shallow to dismiss the little Moroccan girl being Madeleine.

She certainly isn't Bushra Benissa.

I wonder if Bushras family are Phoenician? 



BTW, Angelo, why do you feel the need to snarl at me?  I have never snarled at you.

I do not know who the frightened little girl who was paraded in front of the camera was ... but imo she most certainly was not the little girl who was photographed by the tourist.

[Eleanor]

Have you all gone raving mad?  What has any of this got to do with a Public Enquiry?

I am quite shocked by the anger, although Christ knows why.

Just get back to talking about A Public Enquiry.

There are times when you all defeat me.

[G-Unit]

Regarding the thread title, I think there will have to be a public inquiry if Operation Grange fails to result in the case being solved. If only to account for the huge expenditure.

[sadie]

Madeleine has been got by the lizards. 

Now you could be right on that one.


BTW,
Just who are the Lizards?  £4%4%

[Carana]

I still dont see the point of a public inquiry.

What would one offer that two open police investigations can't?

Funny there is objection to funding for an inquiry into the case of a missing little girl ... but money is no object for a public inquiry into her case.

How much do public inquiries cost? Hundreds of thousands... millions? Do you think that one is necessary to account for every investigation that hasn't resulted in a resolution? If so, how far back should one go in history? If there is only a limited amount of public funding available... should cold case reviews be abolished? Should independent police inquiries be abolished?

Under which jurisdiction should a public inquiry be held? The UK? Why? PT? Do they have such a provision?

Absolutely nothing at all.  The two Police Forces are looking into The Investigation, so who want's to enquire about that?  Other than some peculiar people who think it might force The Mccanns into some ill conceived Court that is never going to happen.

In the beginning they wanted The Case reopened, and now that it has been, they still aren't satisfied.
They want The McCanns hanged, drawn and quartered, regardless of total lack of evidence.
In the absence of what they wanted they now want an inquiry into why they didn't get what they wanted.
