Yes, but up until two weeks ago, the PJ also said the McCanns were not suspects. I think telling them that it was "okay" to leave the kids alone was LE's way of not alerting them of the focus of the investigation.

See bolded.
I don't think we can know that for an absolute certainty. What if the McCanns had been in their room asleep after returning from their dinner party and someone still took Madeleine? What if she and the others were not left alone, isn't it possible that she could still have been taken?
A perp who is determined will still find a way to grab a child....we've seen it to many times nowto know that it's true.
Children who are supervised by an adult and not left alone stand a much, much better chance of not being abducted. Period!

Leaving three tots by themselves at night in a lonely apartment for a whole week while they party, it is almost like an open invitation. Creepy parents.

And whether a child is abducted or not, it is NOT good parenting to leave three children ages three and under alone, under any circumstances.
You can argue "cultural" differences from now til Kingdom come - those rationalizations don't work with me. People get arrested for leaving young children home alone for a reason.
And this is another case where Kate and Gerry can't have it both ways. They can't talk of Madeleine as a difficult, "hysterical" child and then convince me that it was a great idea to leave her alone with her two baby siblings.

oh for gods sake - everyone know it wasnt the best thing to do - leave the kids alone - that is not the debate - we can all pontificate and point fingers . but the only important question is are they murderers ,implicit in her death. Or just parents who made a very bad call on how they dealt wth babysitting.
If Maddie has been abducted then the parents will live forever in the guilt .

I beg to differ. That does seem to be the debate. We've got Gerry letting us know we're hurting his tender feelings when we dare to question the judgement of leaving babies alone and we've got people on this forum who will argue that in England it's a perfectly natural thing to leave children alone.
I'm saying it's not. It's criminal and regardless of the scenario, that negligence may well have been a contributing factor to Maddie's death. Maybe the parents overdosed her so they could "safely" leave her alone, maybe they underdosed her and she woke up and injured herself, maybe an abductor monitored the family and knew the kids were easy pickins'. Maybe Kate and Gerry got angry with her for crying and ruining their chance to leave her once again so they could go party....no one knows. But every one of those possibilities gets right back to the McCanns being too (insert adjective of your choice) to hire someone to watch their children, rather than leaving them alone.

There really is no other way to look at this. If someone can argue a valid point I would be glad to listen.

Oh man; I really cannot take that boob-for-hire, that is the current McCann spinmeister. Bla bla bla tragedy bla bla bla loving parents bla bla bla.
And all the while, I'm thinking - not only did they leave the three children alone...in the evening...and were situated in a Tappas Bar quite some distance away...where it was impossible to hear any cries or calls for the parents - they left the bloody door unlocked!
The audacity of these parents and their spokes-mouth, to say these "hurtful things" to me, (such as spin, re-crafting of their actions, attempting to manipulate my opinion of them, etc.), is simply beyond belief.
For this alone, may their karma serve them well. It is out of my hands.

The Karma Train is speeding down the tracks towards the McCanns. Just as the McCST (McCann Spin Team) launches their latest media blitz, the Portuguese investigators are expecting to receive crucial evidence in the form of the hair analysis.
McCST must think we all just fell off the turnip truck. Their latest fantasies include the info that the DNA in the car trunk was from Maddie's belongings being transported in the boot. Oh, yes...the DNA is "sweat from her sandals".

The McCanns' new spokesman is a former Cabinet official who was in charge of media monitoring as well as a former BBC journalist himself.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7002052.stm
"On Tuesday, their new spokesman Clarence Mitchell said he had resigned from his Cabinet Office job to act as the McCanns' spokesman, because he "feels so strongly" the couple were innocent.
As the then director of the Central Office of Information's media monitoring unit, the former BBC journalist spent a lot of time with the couple in Portugal."
My question: Why would he have spent so much time with the McCanns in Portugal? From the very beginning, the McCanns have had the most influential people working on their behalf.

KOOL LOOK
~~~Sin is the Cause of all Sorrow~~~For this Gal,
To answer your question, "Money". Must people don't up and quit their job, to support their own livlihood and family to go to another job. The mccanns have all kinds of monies and funds available to them. Amazing. Amazing.
I want to know this, Is he being paid then? Case Closed! He just feels so strong about the mccans innocense, is he putting his money where his mouth is?

If he's not getting paid or he's getting a token salary, then he's certainly independently wealthy enough to take on a charity job.
Which just goes to show again the McCanns have a network of wealthy and influential people backing them--and it was that way from the very beginning.

Texana, yes BUT how come they have these network of wealthy and influential people backing them? I mean we are speaking about doctors here not politicians...how many doctors have these kind of "friends"? What am I missing?

The friend Gerry called almost immediately the night Maddie went missing (the one who is an associate of Gordon Brown, PM) was a friend from university days. That's all that we know, other than of course they would have some successful professional friends from their positions as specialists (even though Kate had changed to more low-key GP work a couple of days a week.)
If needed I could get support from State Senator and the Gov. local mayors, more than a few police chiefs and some famous artists if my plight was such as theirs.....it's sometimes all about who you know and the circles you travel with
