Our crew, upon being stopped and their cameras seized, inquired about the paperwork / fax remark and how we had brought equipment in and out of Aruba many, many, many times before and had not been stopped. The crew was told that since the American media’s coverage of Natalee Holloway and their unhappiness with it, that they were going to control who got in with what. The crew had to stay until today to try and get the equipment back…stay tuned….(incidentally, the equipment is VERY expensive.) |
Greta contends that Aruba should have cooperated with Fox and allowed them to take their heavy duty camera equipment onto the island. Apparently they even tried to get help from the Prime Minister. It would appear that Fox is not very popular in Aruba following their coverage of the Holloway story.
To be fair, to Aruba, their representatives claim that this rule effects not just Fox news but any media outlet that arrives on their island without filing the proper paperwork, before hand.
They claim even the "Travel Channel," was treated by the same rules. With this case, as always, what and who to believe?
