Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[faithlilly]

You really must make it your business to find out.  I suggest you e-mail Anthony asap, he might supply you with some material to fuel your McCann scepticism and disseminate online amongst your fellow sceptics.

While I enjoy a bit of intelligently timed sarcasm as much as the next man Alfred it's never a substitute for proper, reasoned debate.

Still if that's all you have to bring to the table.......!!!

[faithlilly]

Even if it hasn't been done already, I'm sure it won't be long before some sceptics will be accusing the authors of being on the McCanns payroll.   Can you imagine the comments if the McCanns had been interviewed?   That would be irrefutable evidence to the [ censored word ]s that it was all a put up job - and the book was really written by the McCanns.

Phew thank goodness they seem to have refused then Benice !

I wasn't being sarcastic.

Of course it would.

Did Carter-Ruck 'review' their book?

What evidence have you got that the McCanns refused?

Is this your idea of intelligently timed sarcasm?  I always say, it's no substitute for reasoned debate!

Well you surely don't imagine Summers wouldn't have approached them for an interview, do you ?

I have no idea - why don't you ask him?

You have no idea ?

Come, come there's no need to be coy Alfred. Either Summers didn't approach the McCanns which would raise questions about his proficiency as a journalist and thus the quality of his research or he did and the McCanns refused. Those are the only options.

If you say so, but why don't you ask him and find out for sure?

Why would I ask him Alfred when the answer is obvious, unless you can think of a different scenario ?

you have given two scenarios , one of which is that Summers didn't ask the McCanns for an interview, the other that they were asked and declined.  Either scenario is possible but we won't know which is correct without asking the authors.  So, as you have corresponded with them already what is stopping you asking them that question?

I have given the only two scenarios possible, neither of which cover either the McCanns or Summers in glory.

I forgot to add Faith - that the fact that they have not been interviewed will also be turned into another crime by the McCanns because -  as every sceptic knows -  everything the McCanns have said and everything they have done since the day they were born....................................is wrong.   

Inexplicable but true.
