Thank you Ben for keeping on top of developments in Haiti. I'm all tied up trying to put together a piece tentatively titled, "Beheading America: an open letter to Alberto Giordano on the deadly corporate media" Initially it was to demonstrate the media's continuing attempt to insure the Bush second term by ignoring and/or scoffing at the extent of fraud and of the attempt of theft in the election, but in the meantime Gary Webb gave up the struggle.

      So the fucking corporate media has taken his head, and is trying to take the head of the American people. I'm attempting to combine both instances that show the role of the "mainstream media" in one open letter, which is also a reply to Al's anguished piece on Gary Webb.

      And then I came across your report here. When I clicked on the link you give to the Haiti Information Project (a very good link to follow), I came upon the following near the end: "Search The Web for any other story — with pictures that show they were actually there to get the real facts, not sittin on the veranda of some overrated hotel — that covered this newsworthy event. All credible reports stated that no other news media was there — even though it was a significant operation for the UN MINUSTAH troops. With all their resources, the corporate media is not providing you with real coverage in Haiti. (emphasis added)
