29237: lyall (comment) the commentary and postings on Wayne State study (fwd)

Peculiar that the same articles keep being posted about the Wayne State 
Kolbe/Huston Haiti study. Shoot the Messenger has now been posted for the third 
time? By pseudonyms?

The 'conflict of interest' problem is that the 10th page of the paper, the 
references page, says 'we declare that we have no conflict of interest', then 
immediately gives as supporting reference articles written by Duff, L.

This looks exactly like putting some wild claim on www.coupinhaiti.net then 
reporting elsewhere 'it has been reported that...'. Using another name. This 
has happened many times the past few years in this bizarre Haiti political 
world.

People claiming that Transparency International was a creature of Haiti 
Democracy Project to cast aspersions on the democratically elected government 
of Haiti, for instance. Or that Reporters sans Frontiers came in to existence 
to criticize the same. These claims were made.

The Kolbe/Huston paper has invited disrepute by citing articles allegedly by 
third parties, but which actually are a pseudonym of the principal author. Kind 
of a mysterious blunder as it was not necessary to cite ones fictional self.

And, why is potemaksonje posting this [Shoot the Messenger] for a third time? 
Which identity already posted it? Is this actually Lyn Duff?
