Hughes: "I don't know the truth"
In light of the recent raid on an NOS warehouse, Eric and Rebekah are back in the spotlight. Last night they were interviewed via satellite on Larry King Live, and for the first time Rebekah talked about her father. (It wasn’t much, but it was more than she usually says – and she gets asked all the time.)
Here’s an excerpt from the show. (Forgive any errors – I copied it down as quickly as I could…)
Larry King: So Miss Hughes, you had been trapped in a warehouse similar to this one?
Rebekah Hughes: Well, similar in that it was a warehouse. I haven’t seen a lot of pictures of this one.
LK: This was shortly before the incident at the airport?
RH: Yes.
Eric Hopkins: That was earlier in the evening, yeah.
LK: Now, Miss Hughes, can I ask you a question? There has been a lot of speculation about your father, Edward Hughes, and his participation in these events. We know – well, I mean, we think we know – that Isabella Hakopian was Edward Hughes’ personal assistant.
RH: Yes.
LK: And in interviews, you’ve been very reluctant to speak of this. Presumably more on the subject will come out in the trial. What’s the reason for your silence?
RH: Yes… Well, the thing is, he’s my father. It’s different when I talk about Felix or Isabella. My father’s my father.
LK: But you put him in the same category with Felix Hazard?
RH: I don’t put any of them in the same category. I don’t put them in categories at all. There’s just the truth, and it can’t be cut up into little pieces that can be categorized. And that’s the main reason why I’ve stayed silent about my father. I don’t know the truth about him, and I’m not going to jump to any conclusions. He’s my father.

What do you mean you don't know the truth? Isabella Hakopian's a terrorist, and she worked for Edward Hughes. He has to be a terrorist, too.
(And even if he's not, he shot up an airport. Terrorism aside, he's a criminal.)
Posting anonymously, eh? Very brave.
First, Isabella wasn't a terrorist. She saved Rebekah and Eric's lives. And she did it on Edward's orders, which means that he was trying to save their lives, too.
Second, "shooting up the airport" was again just trying to save their lives. He shot Felix Hazard's right-hand man, just as he was about to kill Eric. That's defending the innocent, not terrorizing.
For being a journalism student Davis, you're quite the sell-out.
If he's so innocent then why is he currently on the run from FBI? And if Isabella was only there to rescue the Wonder Twins, then why has she been sitting in jail for six months, refusing to talk to anyone, even her defense attorney?
You know what? Until you have any idea what you're talking about, shut up. Rebekah was right: we have no idea what's true. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Awfully defensive, aren't we? Maybe the whole family's in on this?
That's it. I'm locking the comments on this post.
