Brian Deller: "Do not use cash collected to find Maddie to silence intelligent criticism and research"

LINK to old article, but relevant today of course: www.euroweeklynews.com
----------------------------
A local author has criticised the parents of Madeleine McCann for using money meant to find the missing girl to fund libel cases.
"To use the cash collected for finding Madeleine to silence intelligent criticism and research is criminal in itself", said Brian Deller, from Malaga.
His comments came after a book by American Criminal Profiler Patricia Brown was published.
Deller, known for his books on motoring in Spain, said: "Needless to say the McCanns, with their massive funds collected from a sympathetic public to finance the search for poor little Madeleine, have engaged top lawyers who specialise in libel actions to have the book banned. Amazon has had to withdraw it from their on-line web-site."
He added that money donated to find Madeleine should not be used to fund libel actions, saying the silencing of critics and book bans were the actions of totalitarian regimes.

Dr Martin Roberts: "The evidence is that these are the pjyamas Madeleine wore on holiday in Praia da Luz. They were photographed and the photo handed to a press agency, who released it on 8 May, as the search for Madeleine continued. The McCanns held up these same pyjamas at two press conferences on 5 & 7June 2007. How could Madeleine have been abducted?"
Amelie McCann (aged 2): "Maddie's jammies!".

I'm sure that this article was published before - after Pat Brown's book came out - but I can't trace the earlier posting. Newspapers are known to regurgitate old stories - it makes a change though that this one isn't related to a silly sighting of Madeleine.
