Re: US Missionaries Charged With Kidnapping In Hai
Which is why the US should stop sending more money.
BHO and Clinton need to step up and do what needs to be done to make sure these people are not being unfairly and unjustly prosecuted just because they're foreigners.

Re: US Missionaries Charged With Kidnapping In Hai
Missionaries will be freed!
Quote:
Judge Bernard Saint-Vil must now send his recommendation to the prosecutor, who may agree or object, but the judge has the final authority to decide whether they stay in custody or go free.
Saint-Vil said he was making his recommendation a day after questioning the Americans and hearing testimony from parents who said they willingly gave their children to the Baptist missionaries, believing they would educate and care for them.
"After listening to the families, I see the possibility that they can all be released," Saint-Vil told The Associated Press. "I am recommending that all 10 Americans be released."

So much for these people being evil child smugglers.

Good perspective, Sister A! I think they were guilty only of impulsiveness and imprudence. I certainly wouldn't condemn their hearts for being compassionate and wanting to help these children. Since the parents gave permission, the government would be hard pressed to find them guilty of any crime. (As illustrated by the final outcome.)
A good lesson learned: Either go through the correct government channels--or be stealthier next time! LOL!!
