Portuguese police believe several people may be involved in the abduction of Madeleine McCann after they have researched every local phone call made on the night the 4-year-old disappeared from her parent’s holiday apartment.

Officers say a number of people may have been involved in her disappearance and are looking at phone records to back up their suspicions. More than 1,000 people will be questioned about their phone calls on May 3. Investigators are looking for any abnormal patterns in the phone calls made after 9:30 p.m. that night

Seems like an invasion of privacy to me. Do you think that it is OK to have your phone records looked at without a reasonable cause?

Don’t get me wrong, I hope it leads to the kidnappers, I just find it a little odd that a persons phone records are not private.

Anybody else out there notice a pattern? That ever since “W’s” been in office and totally screwed our relationship with OPEC (Not that it was that great to begin with), that at the beginning of the holiday season gas prices go through the “roof” and right before the apex of Christmas shopping begins and retailers are wringing there hands awaiting the onslot, gas prices dip slightly so ” The Madison Avenue gang” can get theirs. Now if history serves as any guide to the future, there’ll refineries going off line for maintenance and repair around the first of the year to justify gas prices going back up right after new years. Republicans need not respond (your to far gone as it is).

dave s asked:

Yet has time to do several magazine interviews for the glossies.

Or is this her way of ‘working through the pain’.

Sorry but I have NO sympathy for Kate whatsoever.

It is well documented the fact she had a nanny to help her at home, even though she was hardly working herself at the time (how many parents can afford hired help apart from when its absolutely necessary like they need to return to work?)

She then abandoned her children on holidays.

After Maddy went missing, she then abandoned the twins in the creche. The very same place where they allegedly never wanted to leave the kids because they dont like leaving them in the hands of strangers.

This to me is a well established pattern of her either struggling to cope with her children or certainly at the least her not paying as much attention to her children as necessary. I wonder if she was ‘forced’ into the family situation by Gerry. We all know that Gerry is a domineering a hole.
Either way she is an adult with brains. Therefore my sympathy for her died when you can clearly see that this incidence with Maddy isnt just a one-off thing, she appears to have a long standing history of struggling to cope with her children, and to me it seems she is wallowing in self-pity for a situation that she caused.

And if she is so deeply depressed, how does she manage to pick herself up long enough to apply her make up and appear on several glossy magazines for next week?

I know that because Gerry is such a vile man, Kate has probably garnered some sympathy but the bottom line is she is just as much responsible for this incident as Gerry, and while she appears in glossy magazines telling ‘her side of the story’ while looking all glammed up, she shan’t be getting much sympathy for me.
Pepzi-Bandit – I cant afford a psychiatrist. Should I perhaps start up a fund?? Ive heard its very easy and the public can be quite gullible. All I need is the Sun and the Mirror behind me!
Lynn18050 – God you talk some $hit sometime. What is this statement?

“what you suggest is total rubbish, there is not a woman that can tell me they dont love their children.”

Uh, so I could never find a case in history where a mother not only doesn’t love her child but has actually KILLED her child? It happens all the friggen time Lyn! You truly know nothing about the world do you?

How about you look up the case recently where 3 tiny bodies were found in a womans home, or how about Susan Smith in the States who killed off her children so she could be with her boyfriend? Honestly Lyn, please dont try and out debate me, you will lose everytime.
Brunelscooby – Do you believe that Gerry and Kate should not have to face a judge for what they did to all 3 of their children. And if not, why not? The fact Kate is able to do interviews at all is amazing given that she should be preparing for a court appearance. When is Madeleine going to get some justice for those that let her down in her hour of need.
