What
is the worth of the WikiLeaks disclosure in the Maddie case? It is truly
worthy. Firstly, in the foreground, it shows that the British police
were convinced as to the credibility of the evidence that involved the
parents in the disappearance. After that, the matter was then the
subject of a conversation, at State diplomatic level, between England
and the USA.
In other words, and for reasons that remain unclear and which may be
related to some work by
Gerry McCann for the British
government, the issue had a clear political dimension. It was a dossier
that was managed with all political care, as can be understood by
reference to the "secrecy" that the matter demanded from the British.
Today, one can also realise the lack of credibility in the information
provided by the U.S. to the request of the investigation regarding the
images collected by a U.S. satellite positioned to the south of Portugal
and North Africa. At the time, the Americans confirmed the positioning
of the satellite, but said that on the night of the disappearance it was
directed toward Africa, and therefore, it could not have seen a man
carrying a child, which later was said by a witness to be
Maddie's
father.
If the McCanns truly wished to reopen the case, now would be a good
time. But is it really their convenience to face the facts? It doesn't
seem to be... |
