Since the tragedy in Haiti, we have seen the generosity of the American people; among those contributing to the much needed relief are religious groups like the one out of the Mid-West, which today, had ten of its members charged in Haiti with criminal activities, including conspiracy for trafficking children. Apparently, these ten people were caught with Haitian children, after crossing over to the Dominican Republic , without the necessary legal documents. Now, I understand the utility of said laws because of the advent of rampant pedophilia in our world now-but an exception should be made for these ten because their organization has since been vetted and proved it has a stellar reputation for placing children in good adoptive homes. It is rather telling about the priority place on religion by those who now occupy the current White House since not one representative was present when the ten were being charged in the Haitian court room-if these ten were charged in attempting to blow up a plane in the name of Allah, their ivy counsel (s) would have been probably summoned and waiting…procured by our Attorney General, Eric Holder-but I digress. The truth is that there is a part of me that feels that if these ten good Samaritans are punished for their good deeds, then all religious organizations should take note and leave, but, alas, that would be unchristian. With my emotions tempered, I realized that to have the other religious organizations move out of Haiti would be tantamount to having the babies be thrown out with the proverbial bath water. With that said, I hope the Haitian authorities will have mercy on these ten who were trying to do good by the children that were taken. I remind the the Haitian authorities that there are three billion dollars missing…given to that country from the coffers of these United States since the Clinton Administration to now. Concentrate on finding the monies and bringing to justice those who have stolen the money from the “Kleptocracy” that is the Haitian Government. Long after this tragedy and its lingering consequences and when the celebrities have moved on to some other cause…the various religious organizations will be there doing yeoman’s work like they have been before the devastating earthquake.…

According to the media, several of these children are not "orphans" and still have living parents. Reportedly, the local minister working with these missionaries solicited these children from the parents with the promise of a better way of life. If this is true, preying on these people is not Christ-like so lets not be hasty to make victims out of these missionaries under the guise of Christianity or bad politics. Remember they shall be many who will present as wolves in sheep's clothing...
