From: Tttnhm@aol.com

Those able to log on to the Internet and listen to audio playbacks might want
to know of the existence of an audio transmission of a long discussion about
Haiti that took place earlier this month as part of the MIT Western
Hemisphere Project.

The Uses of Haiti: A Discussion with Paul Farmer & Noam Chomsky

http://web.mit.edu/webcast/tac/pugwash-haiti-22feb02-16k.ram


What's happening in Haiti? Why does the US government have sanctions in place
against the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere?

Dr. Paul Farmer (Harvard Medical School) is a member of Partners in Health,
the international relief organization. He has spent more than a decade
working in rural Haiti to bring medical attention and care to those who would
otherwise receive nothing.

Noam Chomsky (MIT) is a scholar whose analyses of politics and mass media
have illuminated the works of countless others. He has for many years spoken
out against the uses and abuses to which Haitians are subjected by the United
States government and by their own.

Farmer & Chomsky will give a presentation of the situation in Haiti as they
see it. Then, joined by Nancy Dorsinville of the Harvard School of Public
Health, they will take part in a discussion with the audience.
