Would you agree that referring to 'arguidos' as 'chief suspects' consistutes an ad hominem argument?

Question

dave bulge - no charges have ever been made!!

Answer 1

Yes, it does.

Its merely a cheap & weak attempt to taint someone against whom charges have already been dropped.

Edit: Sure, heres one.  Theres another better one...i'm searching...

Answer 2

More of a non sequitur I'd say.

To say a formal suspect is a main suspect is a non sequitur.

Answer 3

Seeing as the McCanns have never been charged how can these charges be dropped. You can't drop a charge that has never been made. I would have thought that is just a case of common sense. Right Dave bulge ? They were made suspects together with Robert Murat. Neither of these parties have ever been charged.

Answer 4

no... an ad hominem attack is a personal attack... saying the mccanns are suspects is not a personal attack...

Answer 5

It depends on how u translate it. And there is no time limit either.

Charges have not been dropped a decision is awaited from the Portuguese Prosecutor.

Fernando Pinto Monteiro, the country's attorney general, confirmed the prosecutor was making a decision on whether to close the case.

Answer 6

God,here we go again,same old same old.The McCann saga once again reigns.

They were suspects,whether chief or official. The main word is SUSPECT..They were suspects were they not?

Answer 7

The fact is they were suspected right from the beginning and still are, just because there is not enough evidence to prove the suspicions does not make them innocent.

Edit: I don't like them because they abandoned their children then lied and refused to help the PJ and made millions in the process. The Duchess has answered your question I believe, which is self explanatory....
