I refer to Katie Kouric's segment on the little injured Haitian boy illustrated in your show. He was not saying "Why, why, why" rather: "woi, woi, woi". That means he was in excruciating pain.

I have seen on TV, especially these days when Haiti in under difficulties, misinterpretations in all aspects. Some are intentional others are not.

Since it is hard to avoid news from Haiti these days, I saw a half-hour worth of BBC including Matt earlier in the evening, a lot on Al Jazeera the last few days, and tonite (holding my nose) CBS, as well. I'm sorry to say that while the BBC report was quite comprehensive, it appears Matt hadn't seen any of it, and CBS wasn't close to being comprehensive. The US, I understand, reached an agreement yesterday to leave peacekeeping to the UN, who had complained mightily about a US take over. The US had also taken over the airport, when it was clear that the Haitians could not handle it, allowing air crews to pose with their planes for photo-ops instead of unloading them. Two Mexican planes even had to be turned back. Oxfam and other agencies have complained mostly about transportation and shortage of gas. Some ppl, like Couric, are complaining about not letting the anarchy referred to extend to the distribution of what little aid there actually is, in comparison to what is needed, as the BBC's interview with Clinton today indicated. In addition, it is forgotten that a lot of the most urgently needed aid are medical supplies. On the one hand, these critics, joined today by the Wash Post, I see, are saying supplies should be distributed come hell or high water, and on the other that order should be kept. As in the economic crisis their idea seems to be that the two can be accomplished simultaneously by a sufficient handout. The whole thing seems to have become the usual self-serving media circus, with even The Today Show there as if it were Olympics. Everyone of them no doubt wanting to show their audiences they care, like the politicians and even generals these days must to voters. I'm sure they will say they are doing good by drumming up contributions, and even take credit for pointing out bureaucratic bungling, but frankly, I think they are more likely seen as a pain in the butt, and are, I think, becoming tiresome here on the home front.
