I'm really enjoying a "schadenfreude" moment after reading your post.

I'm doing a little gloating, too. Beth said the island didn't want to let her go without finding Natalee.

Beth has brought Aruba face-to-face with economic reality.

Perhaps Prime Minister Oduber might have managed to come up with a more sincere hug for Beth on June 9, 2005, if he could have foreseen then the eventual economic results of his tepid concern for solving Natalee's disappearance.
