Madeleine McCann's parents to sue newspaper
I think it is a bit rich that Gerry and Kate McCann are suing a Portugese newspaper for libel. They claim that it has caused them "suffering and humiliation" to read reports in the newspaper which they claim are not based on facts. However, I did not hear them complaining when the newspapers printed their version of events which were not based on facts. That is, the alleged abduction of Madeleine and the alleged break-in at their apartment. They will be arguing that the newspaper report has defamed their good character. Let us not forget that this couple were responsible for child neglect and/or abandonment for 3 hours leaving their children home alone whilst they went out for drinks, and a meal and a quiz at a Tapas Bar.
UPDATE: McCanns seek to whitewash their tarnished reputations.
