Exactly - and note that GHB is not "date rape drug" in a strict sense (in that it isn't a benzo/hypnotic like rohypnol or other drugs with, essentially, purely nefarious use), although there may be isolated incidences of it being used for that purpose.
It's at least as likely that she took one or more drugs of her own volition and died as a result of their interaction - including if cocaine was involved, as currently hypothesized, because that can introduce a series of wildcard interactions.
The Van der Sloot kid's still a monster douche, but most of the posts here really seem to ignore the facts of what the American kids were doing that night.
