17175: Burnham: A reply to Pina (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

Ambulance Chasers??? A new low from Pina.

 Trying to shoot the messenger is a tired ploy, but entirely consistent
with
the Lavalas approach to dissent. It is also reckless given Pina's close
relationship with the ruling party. After all, if he can intervene to stop
Lavalas militants from attacking opposition demonstrators, what does his
public denunciation of Regan and Morel really mean? Is he signalling a new
wave of violence against journalists in general, or against these two in
particular?
Unacceptable and irresponsible.

Both have excellent reputations and their work speaks for itself.

here's the article the "wicked imperialist hack" Regan wrote in January 1995
about the CIA in Haiti.

or a story from last year showing how out of touch with the people she
really is...
