How could two people helping an FBI Most Wanted be released?

If you are aiding and abetting, especially someone as wanted as bin Laden, how could you simply be released?

"The two people traveling with Jeffs, one of Warren Jeffs' wives, Naomi Jeffs, and a brother, Isaac Steed Jeffs, both 32, were interviewed and released, Martinez said.

After consulting with authorities in Utah and Arizona, "it was determined they would not be charged for harboring or any other offenses," he said. "They are now on the street."

This group is reminiscent of other fringe Christists sects prone to cult of personality issues. I hope they watch them closely to prevent mass self-induced violence, etc.

1. I, too, was shocked to hear this. These people are child

rapists! And, Naomi Jeffs, was certainly harboring a fugative!

I am totally outraged at this. And, I say kudos to the women who 'escaped' this cult and is brave enought to come on CNN. She is clearly in fear for her life. And, these maniacs are allowed to continue this lifestyle- if you could even call it that.

Edit to add that I would like to see the parents of Eliz Smart come out and say something about this.

2. have you seen any of the reports from the compound areas?

They act like public property is private land and they own it. I've heard them shouting down reporters, investigators, any outsiders. They control local politicos and police (who are also cult members) and have set up a nation within a nation.

They're a secretive and scary bunch, and i fear for what they may do now that the "Prophet" is in jail.
