Greta Van Susteren says don't ask silly questions just keep sending money

Dear Greta,
I commend you on the wonderful job you do. I think you are a sensitive, intelligent lawyer/newswoman, and often, the most "fair and balanced" of your peers. And, while I feel terrible for the plight of the Holloway/Twitty family, I must ask the question: When is Beth going to be held accountable for the funds donated? Is it true, as is widely circulated on Web, that the fund has reached a few million dollars? If so, how is it being allocated — are all the volunteers being reimbursed? Is any money going to Dave? Is there such acrimony between Beth and (the more likeable) Dave that she cannot help defray his expenses? This seems a shame; she should facilitate and encourage his trips — he is far more diplomatic, and may get more results in Aruba. Greta, I hope you ask these questions, but I understand your struggle — you want to remain an unbiased reporter, yet you have developed a personal relationship with Beth and are sensitive to her fragile state. Please don't let this cloud your reportorial judgment.
I hope that when Natalee is found, Beth sets up a charity for other missing people with the remaining proceeds. Until then, I sincerely hope she is grateful, gracious, and giving to those who are helping with her struggle.

ANSWER: Jennifer, I know nothing about funds raised but I do like Beth and believe she is honorable. I also know that she said last night that they are funding four new searches. I don't know the cost or source of the funds to cover the new searches. I also don't know how much has been collected — frankly, I was not even aware money was being collected — and have no idea who is getting it and for what purpose. Be careful about what you read on the Internet, as sometimes wild rumors can fly. I was told that there was a rumor on the Internet that my husband and Beth's husband were in some land deal and the two men have never met or talked. The Internet is a wonderful research tool but can be wildly wrong. As for the relationship between Beth and Dave, I am told that it is a cordial one.

:rofl:

I have never written to you before but I feel I have the need to. First of all, did the State of Florida not have one week to prepare for Wilma? The coverage was all over the news (you could not get away from it). The governor warned people to evacuate or have enough food and water for 72 hours! Now all the people can do is complain that they have to wait in long lines for food and water. I myself have a hard time feeling sorry for them.
