40.1 I understand wanting to protect a loved one but I did think they underestimated her strength. I believe that it's the person's(eg: Pamela) right to decide whether he or she can or cannot handle something. I don't believe in taking that decision away from someone as I believe it would be degrading and disrespectful. Plus, hiding things doesn't protect anyone once the truth comes out and the lies end up hurting more than the truth. -- Cindy's Cottage

In reply to: Carla 's message, "A couple of very difficult chapters to read, at least for me. I still find it incomprehensible that these sorts of acts were carried out in a Western country, against citizens and the world bascially shrugged. Of course, we're still shrugging today over torture and atrocities, so I guess things haven't changed that much. Scary." on 09:22:13 09/25/07 Tue

I agree with you, Tracy. Both Jamie and Casey were trying to protect Pamela from the ugliness of the truth, but she is strong and should have had the choice to handle the news at the time. Lies and half truths only lead to trouble in the end. (NT) -- Denise, 14:26:44 09/25/07 Tue
