Madeleine McCann: Anjos Calls Mitchell A Liar And Madeleine One Year On: Campaign For Change
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Cop: McCanns’ spokesman ‘lies’”
Carlos Anjos, president of Portugal’s Police Federation, says of Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “He lies with as many teeth as he has in his mouth.”
The accused the former BBC man of leaking police statements Kate and Gerry made within hours of Maddie disappearing last May. These were aired on Spanish TV last week. Anjos said the aim was to give the McCanns an excuse not to attend a reconstruction.
Says Mr Mitchell: “It is categorically untrue that I leaked them. There was absolutely no benefit for us to do that.”
THE TIMES: Andrew Billen on TV:
“It was going to be called Madeleine McCann, but now ITV1’s exclusive, has a longer name: Madeleine, One Year On: Campaign for Change. The programme will follow her parents as they campaign for an American-style Amber Alert system, in which law enforcement agencies are empowered to commandeer airtime when a child goes missing. Ah, lack of television coverage. That must have been the problem.”
Indeed.

I quote from a CNN report of the last time the FBI got themselves involved in investigating child abuse.
“Quote: Police wore body armor, toted automatic weapons and were backed by an armored personnel carrier for a raid on a West Texas polygamist retreat, photos and video released Tuesday show.”
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/04/16/polygamist.raid.ap/index.html
I seem to remember Waco was not exactly a subtle operation either.
Why on earth would caring parents want this organisation involved in searching for their child?

Even Clarrie, arrogant as he is, could not ever hope to emulate Columbo.
Nope….Columbo soon sorts the arrogant miscreants out.
—————————-
But that’s the point, isn’t it?
Conceited people have a hugely inflated sense of their own abilities; Clarrie is in the process of discovering his own limitations.
I do hope he takes this as an opportunity for personal growth…

Was only teasing you.
I bet she would think Clarrie pretty poor PRman material too.

I can’t ask her now, she is too far away, (and she doesn’t care about the MCs, I think). I didn’t speculate, it was a bet!
Anyway, one thing I know for sure, she would never have left her children alone at night, (or in the daytime). And she would never leave them to me if she thought I might.

wtf, how big is your garden, and how many bushes do you have? By the time we’re all finished, your cottage pie is gone, and we’re all going to be hiding in the bushes away from Mr wtf
(Oh, but at least your house will be re-done 
)
April 16th, 2008 at 6:58 pm

When people have reached a certain level of celbrity, they are only surrounded by flatterers. Nobody criticises them, and they are unaware that some dislike their ways. La chute n’en sera que plus brutale. (When they fall, it hurts all the more).

You mean you are speculating about what she might think ?
Better to ask her. IMO.

Columbo would be my choice for this case virtually speaking.
————————————-
I suspect that Clarrie thinks he is Columbo.
Gerry thinks he’s Gregory House.
Kate thinks she’s Angelina Jolie…

My daughter in law is American, patriotic, both her parents were in the US army.
She has lived abroad, she is intelligent, sensible, down to earth, and I bet she would be the first to find Clarrie’s idea completely unrealistic, and ignorant of the international rules. Which for a PR, is not in favour of his professionalism.
