WaPo headline....sarah palin visits Haiti under tight guard

[spanone]

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began a tightly stage-managed visit to Haiti on Saturday in which she visited cholera clinics while avoiding crowds and the press.

The 2008 vice presidential candidate was a guest of Rev. Franklin Graham, whose aid group works in the impoverished country. Haiti is facing a brutal cholera epidemic while struggling with an electoral crisis and reconstruction from the January earthquake.

Palin, who traveled in part by helicopter, provided access on her tour solely to the U.S. cable network Fox News.

Graham's organization, Samaritan's Purse, refused to discuss Palin's itinerary with other media and asked Haitian and American reporters to leave its compounds, citing a "security lockdown."

7. Samaritan's Purse?

I might be wrong but i think that is the organization that let Sarah fly on their
private jet as she pretended to ride "her bus" to promote the book she never
wrote.

9. Go to one of those sites that evaluate charities and take a look at

Samaritan's Purse. My church fills those boxes every Christmas - I quit after I read the evaluation.
