Hustling Out of Haiti

And nothing about the occupation, aid, rebuilding(?), or the situation on the ground.

The agenda-pushing promotions have been achieved and the conventional myths have been cemented in the American mind. Almost time for Haiti to disappear from my news pages.


"Haiti frees 8 of 10 missionaries; Judge holds two Americans for questioning" by Frank Bajak, Associated Press | February 18, 2010

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Eight American missionaries were freed from a Haitian jail yesterday, nearly three weeks after being charged with child kidnapping for trying to take a group of children out of the quake-stricken country....

The missionaries, most from two Baptist churches in Idaho, are accused of trying to take 33 Haitian children to the Dominican Republic on Jan. 29 without proper documents. Their detentions came just as aid officials were urging a halt to short-cut adoptions after the earthquake....

The group had been embarrassed by revelations that a man who briefly served as their legal adviser and spokesman in the Dominican Republic is wanted on people-smuggling charges in the United States and El Salvador.

US Marshals say they are hunting for Jorge Puello, who was already being pursued by authorities in the Dominican Republic on an Interpol warrant out of El Salvador, where police say he led a ring that lured young women and girls into prostitution.

Yeah, he was supposed to be ARRESTED on SIGHT but somehow he had his picture with reporters!

He also had an outstanding warrant for a US parole violation.

Puello said he volunteered to help the missionaries after they were jailed and said he never met any of them before they were detained.

Well, THAT STINKS to HIGH HEAVEN, folks.

Puello - who surged into the spotlight by providing food, medicine, and legal assistance to the jailed Americans - acknowledged in a phone interview Tuesday that he is named in a 2003 federal indictment out of Vermont that accuses him of smuggling illegal immigrants from Canada into the United States.

I really don't need to know anymore.

And if he CALLED IN couldn't the call be ID'ed and TRACED so the governments could GO GET HIM?

I mean, THIS REEKS, readers!!!

He said he is not guilty.

Puello said he was in Panama and preparing to return to El Salvador to fight the charges against him there....

Well, SHOULDN'T the PANAMANIANS go GET HIM?

Back to the diversionary soap opera for 'murkn consumption:


The eight - looking bedraggled and sweat-soaked - walked out of the Haitian jail escorted by US diplomats after dusk.

Were they TORTURED?


They waited until they were safely inside a white van before flashing smiles and giving a thumbs up to reporters.

Hours earlier, judge Bernard Saint-Vil said that eight of the 10 missionaries were free to leave without bail or other conditions after parents testified that they voluntarily handed their children over to the missionaries, adding that he still wants to question the group’s leader and her nanny.

Kimberly Flowers at the US Embassy would not confirm that the Americans were leaving on a US government-chartered plane, citing privacy law.

Since when has this government given a damn about U.S. citizens and their privacy? Is that what all the spying on us is for?

She said that as US citizens, they were entitled to evacuation flights.

The group was to fly out of Haiti last night, said defense attorney Aviol Fleurant. Their destination was not immediately known. Reporters were denied access to the Port-au-Prince airport tarmac where the released detainees were taken.....

The missionaries say they were on a humanitarian mission to rescue child quake victims by taking them to a hastily prepared orphanage in the Dominican Republic and have denied accusations of trafficking.

Group leader Laura Silsby originally said they were taking only orphaned and abandoned children, but reporters found that several of the children were handed over to the group by their parents, who said the hoped the Baptists would give them a better life.

Then why is some scum Jew lawyer stepping in to "help?"

Saint-Vil said he still wants to question Silsby and nanny Charisa Coulter about their visit to Haiti in December before the earthquake, but he asked for Coulter to be hospitalized because of her diabetes.

Earlier yesterday, Coulter of Boise, Idaho, briefly received treatment but was then taken back to jail....

How are those tortured detainees doing, AmeriKa?
