AlwaysShocked,
I have loved reading your posts -- you have great insight and an ability to articulate what's happening in this proceeding.
This case has always intrigued me. I viewed the FOX news presentation (with Greta Van Sustern) re: Diana's death and the supposed conspiracies attached to her death, and I have to admit, there were some fairly suspicious things mentioned during that one hour presentation.
I have just about every Diana book out there -- I LOVED HER. I really felt sympathy for her, yet, at the same time, I really do feel she contributed somewhat to the situation(s) she found herself in. Have to admit, though, I still blame most of what that poor woman went through on her husband. He was, after all, the older, wiser (supposedly) person in that marriage -- she was a young, very inexperienced ingenue -- merely 19 years old when she married. She had a lot of growing up to do and did not get the much needed support she obviously needed, to fulfill her role as Princess of Wales, from anyone in that family, much less Charles.
To me, one of the most important issues which hasn't been adequately addressed and which was brought out in the Greta/FOX presentation, was the discrepancy found with the blood/alcoholCO2 levels found in Henri's blood.
Henri's own family has repeatedly asked for documentation/facts surrounding what was found in Henri's blood levels and STILL, to this day, have not been presented with any of it.
Still, several of Henri's friends, two in fact, were interviewed for this documentary and they both stated that Henri did NOT drink much alcohol and was definitely NOT an alcoholic. In fact, if memory serves, Henri had a pre-arranged flight the night before (he was an advanced pilot) and he was CLEARED as to any blood alcohol being in his system that night (prior to the accident). I'd have to re-check my facts, there, but I know I saw something in this documentary which had something to do with a flight he had and the requisite blood testing which was required PRIOR to his flight. Some sort of flight test...can't remember exactly.
Yet, another issue, which was shown on video footage taken at the Ritz the evening of the crash is this, which was just astounding. This footage clearly showed Henri Paul bent over and TYING HIS SHOES just prior to their departure that night from the Ritz. He is quite obviously NOT drunk and VERY steady on his feet!
So -- conspiracy theory or not, I don't blame Dodi's father at all for insisting on a further inquest.
IF someone truly and ultimately caused the deaths of these poor people, then they should be held accountable. PERIOD. These people all have families...and clearly, the family of Henri Paul wants desperately to have some real answers to some of their questions and they have not yet been given to them.
It may be frustrating for some that just want to see this as a CASE CLOSED, but unless and until, some of the above issues are cleared up TRUTHFULLY, once and for all, then questions will always be out there as to what may have really happened.
