Any thoughts Klaas on the misdirection??

RU has been talking about Joe T filing suit against Greta and Nancy Grace for over a year.  I think AHATA finally found someone to attempt it but it's a joke.

I don't consider it misdirection though, I consider it stupidity.

Stupidity is right. Joe will lose the only real voice in the media he has. Nobody is going to feel sorry for Aruba, not after Joran's confession.

The two California psychos must be their advisors now.

Did I hear Greta say that their tourism was up 8%?  I thought it is still down.

here are many statistics from the Aruba C.B.S. about Tourism:

CBB, you outdid yourself this time! Best avi ever! 

[Bladerunner]

Just catching up with things around here and digesting the latest suing Greta news! LOL

I have to agree with what others have post that this is an idiotic move on the part of Aruba to say the least.

It will be interesting to see how this story moves along. Nothing sounds sweeter to my ears than to hear US media personalities use the words Aruba and corruption in the same sentence. And that is exactly what will happen if they push this.

Aruba

Land of the Corrupt and Utterly Stupid

They've been caught lying about their statistics trying to paint a rosy picture. Bottom line is they have had huge cost of living increases due to raised taxes and inflation, and it all goes on the backs of their people.

Couple that with major investors pulling out and those that are there losing massive profits because they have had to drastically cuts their rates to get people to go there and it isn't rosy at all.

They have a death wish, this latest thing with Greta is just one more example of it, and whoever is making the calls down there will gut the place before it's all over. Ignorance and arrogance will be their downfall.

I'm with Klaas. I HOPE that Carpe got Greta tonight! It was rich and if you missed it, it's worth staying up for. Greta was chomping at the bit to be sued and Ted even flirted with calling for a boycott. Their "threat" certainly blew up in their faces!

You're welcome Dayhiker! 

PLEASE CHECK MY SIGNATURE LINE EVERYONE!

Greta just gave a tease that she is being sued per news coming out of Aruba .. Coming up segment

2nd tease .. Who in Aruba wants to sue me?  And what am I going to do about it .. coming up with panel.

ATA lawyers have sent a letter to Greta.  An American lawyer sent the letter on their behalf.  The threat is slander.

Greta says bring it on, sue me please, I want to get all these people under oath, I would love it.  The panel jokes, but Greta reinforces she wants them to sue her.  She could depose police, it would be a field day.  Panel member says this was about as well thought out as the investigation was.

Ted points out that now they are refreshing the public's memory that they were unable to find Natalee Holloway.  They wonder if this is a real law firm, where did they get their license.

Now they talk of the effect of tourism that the ATA themselves are bringing down with this.

Ted says I never asked for a boycott, but suing a friend of mine .. etc.  They wonder what possesses someone to do this.  Agreed thought, its all about money.

Nothing specific stated in the letter which Greta holds up on screen.  Says Fox relied on false information, etc. and Greta says maybe they did solve the case and we were wrong.

Bernie asks what ATA should do about their legal fee and they all joke about how they better try to get it back.  End.

that's right. and i find it telling that the statistics about crime on aruba are not very up to date.

http://www.cbs.aw/cbs/getDocumentList.do?categoryId=103&categoryBranchId=103&firstItem=0&category=83

http://www.cbs.aw/cbs/getDocumentList.do?categoryId=64&categoryBranchId=64&firstItem=0&category=139



after 1995, with a 7 year gap - they just called it 'crimes' or 'traffic violations'

and not up to date till 2006.

well done Rudy!!
