A doctored Miami Herald article that says a Haitian presidential candidate and the country’s first lady caused the cholera outbreak by illegal dumping is a fake distributed on the Internet without the newspaper’s permission.
The altered article first appeared on the website haitian-truth.org and then began making the rounds on the Internet. The website took a Nov. 16 article by Miami Herald staff writer Jacqueline Charles about the cholera epidemic crippling the Artibonite Valley and then added commentary, a photo and a different headline without indicating they were not part of Charles’ original story.
The added text says Haiti’s first lady Elisabeth Préval and presidential candidate Jude Celestín co-own a sewage removal company called Sanco, which illegally dumped the feces of Nepalese United Nations soldiers into the Artibonite River, starting the epidemic.
Sanco, originally based in Broward County and now operating in Haiti, does have a contract to clean U.N. septic tanks and is under fire as protesters blame sewage from U.N. latrines for causing the outbreak.
Under the sub-headline “This is the source that no one wants to find, because it is politically sensitive,” the altered article included a photograph of a Sanco truck dumping sewage in a small body of water.
The authentic Herald article made no mention of Sanco.
“The first lady has nothing to do with my company,” Sanco owner Clifford Baron told The Miami Herald Friday.
His company’s articles of incorporation in Haiti do not mention either the first lady or Celestín.
Baron denied dumping illegally and insisted that the photograph was taken many miles from the Artibonite River, where cholera is spreading, and was out of context.
According to its website, haitian-truth.org was founded by former U.S. Air Force pilot Michael Collins. It says he was a missionary from Oregon who visited the country and fell in love with it. The site says it includes “news and commentary” — but it does not note where commentary has been added to news that it republishes.
“This is a blatant violation of the basic tenants of good journalism,” Miami Herald Executive Editor Aminda Márques Gonzalez said. “It’s one thing to reference our work or link to our stories. It’s completely unacceptable for someone to alter our work and use the credibility of The Miami Herald to present their own viewpoint.”
In an e-mail response to The Herald Friday, Collins said he was traveling in Canada and unreachable.
On Monday, he sent an e-mail to another Herald reporter about an article that called into question Celestín’s academic credentials and finances. Collins accused both correspondents of taking cash for their stories in exchange for soft coverage.
On Friday, the Celestín campaign denied any association with Sanco.
“Mr. Celestín is neither an owner of, nor a shareholder in Sanco,” the campaign said in a statement. “He has absolutely no business dealings with this company.”
The first lady also denied any association with the sewage removal company and said she heard of it for the first time through an online Mexican newspaper, which first accused her of owning Sanco shares.
“It is most unfortunate and regretable that, while so many people are dying and getting sick from the cholera outbreak, others find it irresponsibly appropriate to fabricate news, point fingers at the wrong directions and create added confusion — which could potentially expose more lives in such a fragile environment,” she said in an e-mail Friday.

COMMENT:HAITIAN-TRUTH.ORG
This is interesting.
Nothing is as simple as it first appears.
There seem to be agendas…within agendas…
The original article was forwarded to us as published.
We also, along with thousands of others, received an article from a Spanish publication REGARDING sanco Delatour/Celestin with a photo of the SANCO trucks.
It is also attached.
****
I received this e-mail yesterday, from Frances Robles, of the MIAMI HERALD, and answered immediately, promising to contact her on my return to the States, with a contact number. I had lost my cell/sim card and did not have a number in Toronto.
Mr. Collins,
I’d like to talk to you for a story I’m working on regarding the SANCO article. Can you please write me so we can touch base this afternoon.
Thank you,
Frances Robles
Now it is obvious that Robles was playing “gotcha” since her article was probably already written and set in type.
Early this morning, I was sitting at my computer, typing an e-mail to her, when I received a copy of her article, sent to me from Paris.
****
When one looks at the other “Sister Teresa” article attached, one could suspect that someone on the MIAMI HERALD staff sent a loaded piece to www.haitian-truth.org in order to EXPOSE IT at this late date, a few days before the election.
Would the Miami Herald writer Trenton Daniel publish the e-mail I sent his showing that I challenged Jude Celestin’s academic record or finances. I did nothing of the kind,even though the Haitian media suggests he is funding his campaign with the $198,000,000 stolen from PETROCARAIBE funds by himself and President Preval.
Perhaps they won the lottery.
The photograph of the SANCO vehicle, in question, was taken by an Al Jazeera crew that visited Mirebalaise the day after rumors of the cholera outbreak surfaced. It has been used, with attribution, by numerous other reports.
What is more interesting is the fact that – when asked – a high-level MINUSTAH representative confirmed the association of Delatour with SANCO.
Perhaps they have another agenda.
It would have been useful for the MIAMI HERALD to publish the corporate documentation from Haiti, to support their claims – not just more comments that avoid the fact that Delatour is a part owner/shareholder in SANCO.. This has been noted in the Haitian media.
Since it is too close to the elections, documentation cannot be obtained from Haiti in time to place the truth here. The e-mails from the MINUSTAH source will be published, if the claims of the MIAMI HERALD article prove to be correct.
The MIAMI HERALD has always had another agenda which does not march in step with the Haiti’s truth, so this criticism is a case of, as the Irish say…”The pot calling the kettle black.”
The article that we contacted the MIAMI HERALD writer about –
From faceless to favored for Haiti candidate
was so biased, in Celestin’s favor, that we questioned it, since we were aware of other “Truths” …otherwise, we would have published it as presented. We also mentioned – to Trenton Daniel – the MH writer – another article – published in French by Le Nouvelliste in Haiti. It was forwarded to us in August, by MINUSTAH, but we didn’t use it at that time.
WE PRESENT THE TWO FOR THE PUBLIC’S COMPARISON..PLUS THE SPANISH ARTICLE THAT TIES – RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY – DELATOUR/CELESTIN TO THE POO.

TRADUCTION INTO ENGLISH FROM ORIGINAL FRENCH IN LE NOUVILLISTE
Jude Celestin……..
His name is Amaral Duclona. His dwelling today is a prison cell in
France, where he awaits trial for the murder of a citizen of that
country, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Mr. Duclona was arrested by the
police of the Dominican Republic sometime last year, under an alias.
A well known leader of one of the violent gangs that rule different
areas of Port-au-Prince, Mr. Duclona murdered a lot of people in
Haiti, including some citizens of the United States, in addition to a
French diplomat.
Amaral Duclona was also a hired gun in Haiti, handsomely paid to
assassinate those who angered his clients, the list of whom, he
confessed, includes the current President of Haiti Mr. Rene Preval, and a
deeply intimate friend of both men, one Jude Celestin who helped them
embezzle and stash away huge sums of money that belong to the people of Haiti
Credible news reports informed the general public in Haiti that police and judicial
authorities of the Dominican Republic sought the assistance of the
President of Haiti to help identify positively Mr. Duclona, who
claimed to be a best friend of the former. Mr. Preval obliged,
especially after it became widely known that it was he who, for years,
helped this most wanted individual escape every trap laid out by the
Haitian National Police or by international police forces.
As Mr. Duclona revealed to police investigators, every time his capture was
imminent, he would simply dial his best friend Mr. Rene Preval, the
sitting president of Haiti, to the rescue. An accommodating Mr. Preval
would then instruct his minions to rush to pick-up and transport Mr.
Duclona to the Haitian National Palace or to the home of the
president’s sister, where the latter would remain as a valued guest
until the threat receded. In violation of his oath of office, the
president of Haiti aided and abetted a notorious criminal fugitive.
Mr. Duclona also confessed that he personally kidnapped and executed
Mr. Robert Marcello, the former head of the CNE – a state agency that
manages the acquisition, maintenance and use of heavy construction
equipment – at the request of Mr. Jude Celestin, President Preval’s
closest and profoundly intimate friend who, at the time, was dating
the president’s current wife, now the first lady of Haiti.
Mr. Marcello’s crime: as head of the CNE, he had refused to just fork
over a contract worth over $ 97 million U.S. dollars to Mr. Celestin,
without a public competitive bidding process. Mr. Marcello had just
vanished into thin air, and his body had never been recovered until
Mr. Amaral Duclona confessed to his assassination.
After Mr. Marcello’s disappearance, President Preval named the
latter’s assassin, his profoundly intimate old friend Mr. Jude
Celestin to replace the unfortunate Mr. Macello as the CNE’s new Chief
Executive Officer, a position Mr. Celestin holds until this very day,
in spite of the serious allegations leveled against him by the
infamous Amaral Duclona in confessions to police and judicial
authorities of the Dominican Republic, France and the United States,
three countries whose friendship, good will, cooperation and guidance
remain essential in the arduous undertaking of pulling Haiti out of
the abject poverty that is a causing so much embarrassment not only to
Haitians everywhere, but to our entire hemisphere. Yet, not a single
official of the Haitian government, the Haitian parliament or the
Haitian National Police called for even a cursory investigation of the
criminal activities of Mr. Preval and his profoundly intimate friend,
Mr. Jude Celestin.
But, that’s not all. In a new affront to the people of Haiti, to the
Dominican Republic whose police forces diligently arrested and deposed
Mr. Amaral Duclona, to France whose legal authorities worked very hard
to obtain Mr. Duclona’s extradition to their country for his crime
against one of their diplomats, and to the United States whose several
citizens have been kidnapped and murdered by President Preval’s
associate, Mr. Amaral Duclona, who also toiled as a hired gun for
murder on behalf of Mr. Jude Celestin, the latter has just been named
by President Rene Preval, along with Haiti’s First Lady, as one member
of a committee of three in charge of the reconstruction of
post-earthquake Haiti.
The accusations of murder, aiding and abetting a notorious fugitive,
and embezzlement of public funds, especially international aid money,
are very serious criminal offenses leveled against President Preval
and his acolytes. No Haitian institution is strong enough to brave Mr.
Preval’s dictatorial powers and awesome murderous inclinations,
formally and officially exposed by Mr. Amaral Duclona who is currently
enjoying a prison cell in France.
In addition, the government of Haiti’s virtual blocking of
international aid through the newly imposed assistance tax, and their
insistence that international aid be channeled through them, which
should be discouraged because of their record of mismanagement and
embezzlement, are denying millions of earthquake victims the
assistance they direly need in food, clean water, strong temporary
shelter and medicines. Because of the government of Haiti’s actions,
hundreds of thousands of distressed Haitians cannot be and cared for
in a manner commensurate to the international community’s formidable
commitment to help.
Moreover, because such actions may lead to another
major humanitarian catastrophe, of the government of Haiti’s own
doing, this time around, they rise to the level of a crime against
humanity, the complete commission of which the international community
must act to prevent first, and to punish, afterward, any and all of
Haiti’s leaders found to be responsible for this new round of
calamity. Such an odious crime cannot go unpunished. Not this time, as
candidate Obama used to say to the wild applause of his supporters
during his campaign for the U.S. presidency.
Not this time, I also say to you today, which is why we must once and
for all put an end to this expectation of impunity that causes Haiti’s
corrupt and murderous leaders to refuse to relinquish the political
power they hold and facilitate the emergence of able, competent and
honest leadership, no matter how profound the pain and suffering they
inflict on their own defenseless population. There is no tradition of
resigning one’s position in the political culture of Haitians,
unfortunately, and these serial and unrepentant criminals will not put
the key under the rug and leave willingly and quietly.
These so-called leaders of Haiti, whose actions would guarantee them a
long prison sentence, under the federal RICO legislations in the
United States, for having transformed the government of their country
into a vast and unrelenting criminal enterprise, have now also left
the international community with no other choice than to exercise in
Haiti a duty to intervene forcefully to save hundreds of thousands of
Haitians from a looming new humanitarian catastrophe of their own
government’s doing. Thousands of children may die, along with their
parents in events leading to avoidable casualties.
Not this time. We cannot tolerate nor will we accept this brazen crime
against humanity, with the world watching. So, let’s round up these
criminals who called themselves a government in Haiti, and arrest them
all before it’s too late in that suffering country. The United States,
and France should call for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security
Council and lead the international community into the forceful action
that is now required against President Preval, Prime Minster
Bellerive, Mr Jude Celestin, and their ruthless accomplices in
Haiti. Again, let’s round up these unrepentant criminals, and arrest
them all in the name of the common humanity shared by all the
different people on Earth, including Haitians.
MINUSTAH y su apoyo a Jude Celestin a través de Elisabeth Preval
November 12, 2010
By `

Haití es un país de rumores. Es la manera como los ciudadanos se enteran de las noticias. Toma tiempo acostumbrarse, pero al rato de estar visitando Haití, uno se da cuenta de que estos rumores en su gran mayoría son hechos concretos y verdaderos, que merecen ser difundidos en medios de comunicación formales.
No es ningún secreto que el actual Presidente René Preval apoya al candidato oficialista Jude Celestin. Lo apoya para dar continuidad a la ineficacia y corrupción de su gobierno.
Celestin era un político desconocido en Haití hasta hace pocas semanas; de hecho, en la primera encuesta del 5 de septiembre, no llegaba ni al 8% de intención de voto. Muy lejos de donde las encuestas manipuladas lo colocan el día de hoy, con el 24% de intención de voto.
Antes de ser candidato a Presidente, el Sr. Celestin era el encargado de la reconstrucción de la infraestructura en Haití. Cualquiera que visita Puerto Príncipe y sus alrededores, muy rápidamente se da cuenta que el trabajo de Jude Celestin en el gobierno fue un gran fracaso. En la capital de Haití no sólo no se ve ningún signo de reconstrucción, sino de cualquier proyecto de infraestructura.
Después de que miles de millones de dólares fueron entregados por la Comunidad Internacional al gobierno de Haití, para la reconstrucción, al no ver ningún indicio de progreso uno tiene que preguntarse a dónde fue a parar todo ese dinero.
Una de las respuestas, a la que se le dedican muchos rumores y también algunas noticias concretas, es la esposa del Presidente René Preval: Elisabeth Delatour Preval. Analicemos el por qué…
La Primera Dama es la principal accionista en SANCO Haití, una empresa que presta servicios a la MINUSTAH (contingente de la ONU a cargo de mantener la paz en Haití).
Es a través del jugoso contrato que esta empresa tiene con la MINUSTAH, que la Sra. Preval está llenado de millones de dólares sus cuentas bancarias personales, a costa del empobrecido pueblo de Haití.
Se rumora también muy fuertemente que el año pasado, la Primera Dama de este país con millones de familias viviendo en la miseria, pagó en efectivo una casa de $2 millones de dólares en la ciudad de Miami.
Esta “riqueza inexplicable” no se limita a la Sra. Preval, el candidato oficialista Jude Celestin también ha adquirido propiedades multimillonarias en la Florida, donde en recientes semanas, el Miami Herald ha dado a conocer los problemas financieros de Celestin, presumiblemente a partir de que dejó de controlar los presupuestos millonarios que se le otorgaban a la agencia gubernamental para la reconstrucción del infraestructura en Haití, bajo su administración. (http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/10/20/1883603/preval-protege-faces-s-fla-financial.html).
Con estos antecedentes, es muy fácil concluir que Celestin se quedó sin el importante ingreso personal que le generaban los actos de corrupción.
En las últimas semanas se han estado cuestionando acciones por parte de SANCO Haití, la empresa de la Primera Dama, por la irresponsable descarga de excrementos humanos de una base de soldados nepaleses, al Río Artibonite. Se sospecha que ésta pudo ser la causa de la terrible epidemia de Cólera en el país.
Según estos cuestionamientos, SANCO Haití simplemente habría arrojado estos heces fecales, sin tratamiento químico alguno, contrario a lo establecido en los contratos de servicio.
Y todavía más preocupante que el enriquecimiento desmedido de la Primera Dama, o la gravedad de esta alerta de salud por negligencia, son los rumores de que la MINUSTAH está apoyando de manera extraoficial al candidato oficialista, Jude Celestine.
Existe un fuerte temor por toda la corrupción que hay en juego entre SANCO Haití, la empresa de la Primera Dama, y funcionarios de la MINUSTAH, quienes temen que si un candidato de la oposición llegara al Palacio de Gobierno, todo esta red de corrupción se haría pública.
Es por esta razón que la preocupación de que las elecciones sean verdaderamente transparentes y justas es una enorme duda, como lo es también la presencia contundente de la OEA/CARICOM para fiscalizar de cerca el desarrollo del proceso electoral.
No se sabe si a los rangos más altos en la MINUSTAH estén al tanto de estos inadmisibles niveles de corrupción, ya que podrías ser principalmente los oficiales locales de la MINUSTAH quienes estuvieran mayormente involucrados en este masivo acto de corrupción y fraude que, a fin de cuentas, a quien más daña es al tan golpeado pueblo haitiano.
HERE IS THE MIAMI HERALD’S SISTER TERESA ARTICLE ON CELESTIN
YOU CAN CONTRAST THE TWO
| From faceless to favored for Haiti candidateBY TRENTON DANIEL tdaniel@MiamiHerald.com TRENTON DANIEL / Miami Herald Staff Presidential candidate Jude Celestin is surrounded by supporters at a rally in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, on Oct. 21, 2010. Until Jude Célestin showed up in a Port-au-Prince suburb in August to register as a candidate for the presidency, few knew his face. He isn’t one to frequent the posh restaurants in the hills above this capital city. He has the reputation of a loner. He’s a reclusive technocrat in a crowded presidential field that includes a music star once fond of performing in drag, a former first lady, a prime minister sacked twice, and an industrialist who helped fan a coup. The former head of the government’s road-building company, he’s credited with building miles of roads that reach peasants in isolated villages, but for the most part the job kept him outside the public eye. However, since President René Préval tapped him as his heir apparent in Haiti’s Nov. 28 election, Célestin’s profile has risen. He is now considered one of the front-runners. “He’s still pretty much a mystery man to me,” said Robert Maguire, a longtime Haiti scholar at Trinity University in Washington, D.C. “If Préval didn’t anoint him as the hopeful successor . . . I don’t think Célestin would be involved in the election as a candidate.” But Haitians have begun to learn about him as he hits the campaign trail. At an October rally in the scrappy suburb of Croix-des-Bouquets, thousands showed up. Many wore Célestin’s signature green-and-yellow T-shirts. “We know the poor are very frustrated,” said Célestin, a 48-year-old divorced father of three. “But we don’t want you to remain frustrated.” He promised his administration would provide education, build technical schools and create jobs. Political stability would be essential to realizing those goals, he added. A week later, Haiti saw another side of Célestin when he participated in a televised debate with two rival candidates. In his opening remarks, he introduced himself in the third-person. “Jude Célestin is a man who is discreet — a man not of the media,” he said. “What’s important to say is he’s a hard worker, an investor who invests in Haiti and outside.” Célestin and his campaign managers rebuffed repeated requests from The Miami Herald for an interview. Finally reached on his cellphone, Célestin said: “I’m campaigning right now. I’m stopping everywhere to talk to people.” Those who know him say Célestin is indeed a workaholic. Through the years, he has acquired a reputation as a hyper-focused man who often begins the workday before dawn and doesn’t leaving his office until night. His industriousness is sometimes a source of amusement. “Sponsor of my marriage, he arrives late,” sister Rita Rancy toldLeNouvelliste, a Haitian newspaper. “He almost led me to the altar in boots and overalls.” HIS BACKGROUND Célestin was born June 19, 1962, the son of a mother from Grand-Gosier and a father from Jacmel — both coastal towns in southeastern Haiti. Raised in a family of teachers, he grew up in Bois Verna, a middle-class neighborhood in Port-au-Prince known for its gingerbread-style architecture and abundance of schools, and studied at College Fernand Prosper. FAMILY TIES The family had ties to the Duvalier dynasty. His uncle, Rony Gilot, is a former information minister under Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier and the author of two books sympathetic to the bloody Duvalier regime. One is titled The Misunderstood. In his final year of high school, Célestin transferred to Centre d’Etudes Secondaires, a Bois Verna school known for its strong mathematics curriculum. “He was always a person who was discreet,” recounted Patrick Pompilus, a former classmate at Centre d’Etudes who is now the school director. The two graduated the same year in a class of 30 to 40 students, Pompilus said. After high school, Célestin went on to study engineering in Switzerland, according to his campaign literature, and received a degree in mechanical engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a leading institution of science and technology. But administrators there say they have no record of a Jude Célestin attending or graduating from the university. Rancy did not respond to e-mails seeking comment. In 1985, a year before a popular movement ousted Jean-Claude Duvalier, Célestin returned to Haiti and worked in the then-state-owned flour mill. His ascent was swift. Six years later, he became plant manager. It was here where Célestin and Préval would first cross paths, according to Le Nouvelliste. In 1997, during Préval’s first administration, the two met again. Préval was seeking an engineer to develop the Public Works Department. That year, Célestin began work at the National Center for Equipment, or CNE, the government’s road-building agency. In February 2002, a year after President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was inaugurated to his second term, Célestin left CNE but later returned. Also in 2002, Célestin began to invest in South Florida real estate. The three homes he purchased either had liens placed against them or foreclosure problems. Four years later, in 2006, Célestin and friend Tania Chihimie, purchased a 5,117 square-foot home for $1.1 million after they secured a loan for $1 million from a bank in Antigua. That home fell into foreclosure and records show the lender is seeking $1.06 million. The house also has $24,590.34 in outstanding Broward County taxes, records show. Célestin’s campaign referred questions on the Weston property to Chihimie, a businesswoman. She said she took full responsibility for the house. Meanwhile, Célestin continued to take on construction projects. Between June 2005 and January 2006, he worked as an engineering coordinator for the United Nations Office for Project Services in Haiti, according to a U.N. spokesman. He helped rehabilitate a school in Gonaives after Tropical Storm Jeanne battered the western port city. As the director general of CNE, he staffed the agency with a majority of women and oversaw the construction of more than 750 miles of roads, according to his campaign. He also directed the drivers who cleared rubble and trucked bodies to a mass grave north of Port-au-Prince after the massive Jan. 12 earthquake. But CNE under Célestin also has stirred controversy. Some opposition lawmakers have blasted the government for purchasing equipment for CNE without following procedures. WORK AHEAD Haiti’s next president will be elected at a critical time for the country and will be charged with managing billions of dollars in foreign aid for earthquake recovery, finding housing for the 1.5 million people left homeless in the quake, and dealing with the recent cholera epidemic. For his part, Célestin has said he plans to develop Haiti’s long-neglected countryside, encourage investment in private healthcare, and shelter the homeless. His campaign says he’s a “proven leader with management and leadership skills.” But his critics say he has too little political experience to run the country. “I think Jude Célestin is a good worker but he’s not a personality that can be president of Haiti,” said Youri Latortue, a senator who is backing candidate Mirlande Manigat. “Jude Célestin has no preparation to become president.” In Haiti’s southeast, the native son remains something of an enigma despite the ubiquity of his green-and-yellow campaign banners and posters. “I really don’t know much about him,” Célestin supporter Jean Morte Gilles, 35, said in the village of Nan Malgre. “But that he’s from my part of the country is all I need to know.” **************** Will the real Jude Celestin stand up. I suppose that there might be two Jude Celestins and we apologize to both of them for any confusion. |
About time some persons exposed Miami’s Herald for their damages to my nation.
Celestin and Preval have raped our peoples.
And now they will steal our votes again.
The altered article first appeared on the website haitian-truth.org and then began making the rounds on the Internet. The website took a Nov. 16 article by Miami Herald staff writer Jacqueline Charles about the cholera epidemic crippling the Artibonite Valley and then added commentary, a photo and a different headline without indicating they were not part of Charles’ original story.
****************************************
The Miami Herald has just accused you of forgery.
I would suggest you initiate a legal action against the writer and the publisher.
As an attorney, I have long had some disdain for the way in which this newspaper purports to present an unbiased, balanced concept of our area’s events.
I enjoy your website as the only real collection of Haitian material that actually presents all sides of the game, Aristide, Preval, Sweet Mickey, USAID, Jean-Henry Ceant, the Manigats…and the rest of the players.
I suppose we are all selective in our recollection.
However, I did not accuse anyone of taking cash, although that is always a possibility within the Haitian community.
The Celestin article was so laudatory (too weak a word) about someone with a shadowy reputation that I suggested there were two alternatives.
The first possibility was complete and total incompetence in not digging out any of the truth on the subject, truth known to most Haitians. The truth has also been published, extensively, in Haitian newspapers,and broadcast on radio and TV.
The fact that most of it was in French might have made things more difficult, but there are ways around that. You shouldn’t research a subject – that is basically in French – unless you have some grasp of the elements.
The second possibility suggested financial remuneration, not an unknown thing in the media community.
What other suggestions are there for a major media outlet, like the MIAMI HERALD, to publish a story like that, a story that would even embarrass the guy’s mother, with its praise?
I suppose there are variations between total – incompetent stupidity and cash…or can you suggest something else, like a plea of temporary insanity?
Collins
Good shots.
The truth has been forgot.
Unfortunately, Haiti will probably lose again.
