13528: Charles comments on 13510 and 13516 (fwd)
From: Philippe Charles <pcharles@us.ibm.com>
A good friend of mine who is also on the Corbett list sent me the following
note regarding 13510 which I had posted:
> u dont beleive that tripe do you ???
> there are good points in it - but come on.....
> that was a staged exodus ??
> I suppose the coup attempt was staged as well ??
Part of my reply to him reads:
> ...In fact, note that I was very careful to say that it was an
"opinion"
> piece. I hope that folks in Corbettland don't assume that posting an
> article automatically means that you share the opinion.
> A propos, I just read a story from Sun-Sentinel (posted on the list)
> stating that the trip was organized by a whole town and not
smugglers...
The article I was referring to above is 13516. I was very impressed by how
enterprising the people of that village were. It would be a shame for Haiti
to
lose them. I was struck, in particular, by the following statement from
Welby:
> "There wasn't a captain, or a crew really," said Welby.
> "In any effort like this, leaders emerge, people take
