McCanns not abductor still responsible for Madeleine's disappearance

McCanns not abductor still responsible for Madeleine's disappearance

The Daily Telegraph has sunk to an all time low with this garbage: Madeleine McCann 'was snatched by paedophile ring to order'. The poor excuse for a journalist called Caroline Gammell concluded that the email "It destroys the PJ's theory that the couple accidentally killed Madeleine and then tried to dispose of her body".

The email said "Intelligence suggests that a paedophile ring in Belgium made an order for a young girl three days before Madeleine McCann was taken.

"Somebody connected to this group saw Maddie, took a photograph of her and sent it to Belgium. The purchaser agreed that the girl was suitable and Maddie was taken".

This should have alerted both the so-called journalist and the so-called editor that it was a non-story. "A Scotland Yard spokesman said: ?Unsubstantiated information was received by CO14 relating to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann".

UPDATE: And from the Guardian...

"The source of the information was anonymous and it is unclear how reliable it is".

Er, shouldn't that be "it is clear how unreliable it is"?
