14100: Tou dwat ; More pernicious...Pina -Chamberlain debate (all in english!) (fwd)



From: tou dwat <tou_dwat@hotmail.com>


On dec 11 th...Published in La Presse, Montreal (www.cyberpresse.ca) ...2
articles about haiti from AFP were published ...

The first one
http://www.cyberpresse.ca/reseau/monde/0212/mon_102120166016.html refers to the
number (8000, 900, 1200, 13500.?!?!?!) of american military that will do
humanitarian (sic) work on the DR-hatian border...this article ends with this
paragraph.:

      AFP - "The crisis, marked by sporadic violence from essentially
      members of pro-goverment OP, is still going on in spit of multiple
      meditation efforts from the American States Organization"
      translated form french

Question : is this paragraph a fact ? or is it like the response I execpt from
this post, an opinion ?

And then, when comes the following article... inserts in the debate, not just
the reporting of facts, but how you organize it, present it... where facts
become information...

The second article goes like this ;
http://www.cyberpresse.ca/reseau/monde/0212/mon_102120166856.html

      AFP - 4 people have been killed Tuesday evening at las cahobas, 50
      miles NE of the capital PAP, during an attack of the police station
      of the town by an armed commando, announced Radio Haiti Inter, a
      private radio in PAP. The assailants freed 4 prisoners, among them
      2 were detained for investigation in relation of the murder of a
      local judge, Mr. Lozama. They also took with them 12 guns ans
      ammunition along with a police car that was burned not far away.
      The aggressors 'slaughtered' a person that was in front of the
      police station during the attack and 3 more in the Quinte
      neighborhood while fleeing toward the Haitian_DR border. The attack
      was confirmed by police sources but no one has claimed
      responsibility..." tranlsated from french

If you knew nothing about the situation in Haiti, what (whom) would you
conclude about the authors of this attack  ?

respectfully...
