The Secretary of State, for the United State, Hilliary Clinton recently came out and said how “unfortunate” it was that American Christians were suspected of smuggling children from Haiti.
Articles sored throughout the Internet about how the children were stolen by potential smugglers without regard to accuracy.
Granted, their are fresh concerns for the children’s safety in Haiti, due to the earthquake and and inability for police forces to monitor illegal activity.
however, when this incident broke, news agencies rushed to fed upon what little information there was and unscrupulous reporters began to embellish the story with an evil bent.
Hillary Clinton should have known better to come out with such a comment, but instead it looks as if she has been sucked into the mass hysteria of the matter.
These baptist missionaries who were arrested are part of a group called *new life children’s refuge* who have been working in Haiti for some time and have not shown a history of illegal activity.
After the earthquake they felt that the Dominican Republic would be a safer place for the children, most courts and public buildings were destroyed and documentation to remove the children likely impossible to gain: they took the children anyway.
Although seemingly criminal, this act was likely heroic. The fact that the Haitian Government can not process the Christians in custody is a testimony that the children would have likely never gained the proper documentation to leave.
Right now there are thousands of Christian’s in Haiti doing tremendous work feeding, clothing, comforting, providing medical attention, and very likely starting the building process.
You will likely not have a CNN reporter cover their great work; although, they continue day after day after day rescueing and protecting those in need.
Their infrastructure for logistics, much of which is funded from Christians around the world, were on the ground well before any of President Obama’s Marines hit the beaches with 5.62 ammo to distribute. Their intentions are not for political points nor photo opportunities.
The truth of this matter is that those Americans in custody could have easily been processed and their guilt or innocence determined within a day or two by Hilliary Clinton becoming involved, yet she stayed out.
The likelihood that these missionaries had criminal intentions are very low and most understand this, but for some reason Hillary Clinton and the Haitian Government feel the Christians are better behind bars. This just may, very well be, not a case of smuggling at all, but of who gets the credit.
