think that she should quietly accept the fate that has been handed to her in this circumstance without making a fuss. I think you've all been living for too long in a country where you can't say what you really think for fear of being jailed or something, and you presume that the rest of us have those same sensibilities and fears.
It almost sounds like a vague threat: keep your mouth shut or you won't get to see your son ever again.
I haven't heard anything that has been truly disparaging about the family come out of her mouth (loads of US are spouting off, but I haven't heard too much from Rebecca that I would call rude or maligning).
She's had her son taken from her, against her will, and for nearly two months has been denied contact with her child by the people who took him. And the government here did diddly squat for weeks in terms of verifying the boy's location, situation, health and welfare so that the mother could at least be reassured that her son was okay.
How the hell do you think you would feel if that happened to you?
You guys keep talking about how it's only "one side of the story" ... and then Sugar goes on to say that not talking about it is the Qatari "path". Well isn't that convenient? You can always cry "you haven't heard the WHOLE story" as a defense, knowing full well that the other side's story will likely never come out.
I'm sorry -- but the uncle has had numerous chances to set the record straight if he felt like what was being said was untrue. If he chooses to not address Rebecca's version of events, then he can't blame the public for making a decision on what they HAVE heard and learned.
