Is there a moderator for this thread? There are seperate threads for Hurricane Katrina. This should be a Natalee Holloway thread.
Before I get flamed, I am very concerned about the people in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. as well as their property. I am simply requesting that we try to keep the Natalee Holloway thread a seperate thread.
This is a smoky backroom thread, too. Get a grip.
How can you say "Cheers" after working on that info? I bet it is rife with waste but what can you expect with sinful men in control. Tell me I am wrong! I would love to hear it.
KEESLER UPDATE:
Keesler Air Force base has survived a direct hit by a Hurricane Katrina a Category 4 hurricane. Initial assessment shows extensive damage to our industrial and housing areas. We are deploying assessment crews and are in contact with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and with commanders of many military bases who have offered assistance. The damage is severe enough that we are unable to leave our shelters until Thursday at the earliest in order to assure our recovery teams have cleared debris and made it safe for us and our families to return home. Brigadier General Lord and your leadership promises to keep you apprised of the progress of our recovery teams and release you to go home and assess your own damage as soon as it is safe for your family to travel. All pets at the Keesler pet shelter are in good health and weathered this extremely dangerous storm safely. We are doing everything within our power to clear the way and provide the best immediate and long term assistance to help each one of us in order to recover from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Brigadier General Lord wants you to know we are not alone and will do everything we can to keep you safe and get you home as soon as possible. Please be patient. We all need to pull together and help us all make it through this difficult time safely.
I text messaged with a buddy of mine who is in a National Guard MP Company that's in Ocean Springs. He said it's worse than anyone would believe.
TAW
Beth is too astute to leak accidently and considering it is said to be in regard to the girl that came forward (thus helping Natalie's case)... to then leak the girl's identity is hurtful and cruel. It does not seem possible that Beth would do such a thing. She of all people knows how hurtful the press, gossip and people in general can be.
This story seems off.
To what purpose is it said?
I think the purpose is to diminish the evidence against those arrested for the most recent suspicions and to tone down anything coming from the Holloway/Twitty camp. Threatening to have Beth's adjoiner revoked would mean they could not receive all the evidence in the case once it is completed. It would also, quite possibly, mean that they would no longer inform her of anything rom here on out.
Another site has people posting to the affect that one of the Kalpoes' lawyers is considering a lawsuit against ALE for the return of the the Kalpoe stuff...specifically Deepak's computer. I don't think that will go very far.
Almost sounds like the Kalpoe lawyers are squirming a bit more now.
OMG...this is horrible. How canso many people have died but we are not told? What would be the reason for that?

I don't think Beth would've leaked anything either. She's kept mum for so long, why would she relax her tongue now?
Someone is having a bunch of fun with this. Dangerous fun.
And while this should stay on topic for the most part, I think every one of us has friends or family that have been impacted in the South....no way can we not talk about it to some extend. Use the scroll function and don't read the posts you don't want to....
The whole aruba machine seems to be based on discrediting the victim/victim's family. I think they are feeling more then desperate. A lot of people would wilt under what Beth has been through, she (and the rest of the family) only seem to grow more determined.
We all realize and yet none of us (that I've seen) has commented on the proximity of the Twitty family to the hurricane. As if they don't have enough going on, and now this. I don't know when Beth was due to return to Aruba, but I hope this won't deter it for too long.
Bookmarked, Thank You!
I was wondering, I don't know enough about where they are or Dave to know what was hit. I thought Beth was back in Aruba, but don't know that as fact.
I don't know about Birmingham, but Meridian (where Dave lives) got some pretty bad weather. Meridian is about 80 miles due east of Jackson, Ms which is the area where Malichi lives. My son goes to school at Meridian Community College. Right now there are a lot of power outages and some tress down. The local paper has a website at:
www.meridianstar.com
They're so overwhelmed down there ... right now their main focus is on rescuing the survivors. They probably won't know the death counts for quite awhile and the number will go up as time goes on, as they're cleaning up the mess.
