What is the 21-25?  Another travel show?  Sorry, I know I should know

[Maggie]

Does everyone know that if you make plans in advance with your Congressman (Senators and Representatives) they will meet with you? They will also give you special tickets to tour the White House. I think the regular tours start at 10 (when everyone lines up; first come, first through the door), but the special tour begins at 8, I think, the line is short, and you get to see more rooms (the china room?). There might also be special tours of the Capitol.

I think (hope!) that all of this is still true, since I have done all of the above in the past.

Maggie,

Can you call Spencer Bacchus and tell him we'd like to meet with him?

Can we fit 100,000 people in his office?

[Dihannah1]

Anyone have the quote from Peter de Vries--maybe the 20/20 interview--where he is asked about him first showing Mos the video of Joran's confession?

I think his comment was something like: "he said we have been waiting for something like this".

I haven't read past this post yet, so not sure if it's been brought up.  But first and foremost, I ALSO hope he is careful!

But let me play DEVIL'S ADVOCATE for a second.  Let's just hope MOS is covering his ass and trying to appease the naysayers, by saying he will question him.  Maybe he wants to see if he can get more info. to 'help' the case, but using "interroation" as guise to hide his real intentions by those who are corrupt.  I know I've been wrong many times before, but I still find it hard for MOS to put so much at stake,  like his comment above "he said we have been waiting for something like this". Those corrupt in the LE have been left with there pants down by this,  MOS has a chance to become a hero, if he so chooses to be
Thoughts?

[Blue Moon]

will patrick be the next matthews?

better take some people and media cameras with him.

If they want to talk to Patrick maybe they need to go to him in the NL same as they did with Joran. Only fair.  I fear for Patrick if he is questioned in Aruba.

HEH HEH! I believe we have THREE TOURISTS IN ARUBA!

The probably work there!!!

here is one of my thoughts, for what its worth:
in several official reports i read that when a suspect answers a question, they are talking about .... van der sloot did this or that.....or.....vandersloot said this or that.
Normally a police officer would ask: are you referring to joran van der sloot?
I totally miss that sentence.
could it be suspects were talking about paulus van der sloot, and in this way are lying but in such a way cannot be accused of perjury?

further, i have read what the kalpoes and jorand talked about in the car.
you all were talking about the sentence:" Not you own father" , or something similar.
But how about what joran said: I only do what my parents tell me to do? That is the dutch translation.

maybe farfetched but these were just some thoughts.

How does it go? One can not be a lying witness, but suspect status doesn't count.
