Those law-breaking Americans I talked about a couple of blogs back have finally been released!
But….
What does Idaho say about the Baptists’ return? According to one article, most public opinion was pretty negative. Like me, a lot of locals still don’t really think their argument makes what they did OK.
Furthermore, media wasn’t allowed to ask the the newly released Americans many questions that have been on the minds of many in the US. Without the media being allowed to do their job, how will the general public develop an opinion on the story of the Americans imprisoned in Haiti?
Honestly, I think that not answering questions will only hurt the Baptists. No one in their hometown thinks that what they did in Haiti is OK and the media has followed public opinion quite nicely.
The fact that Americans do not agree with what the 10 Baptists did in Haiti makes me feel more confident in what America stands for. It seems that the media has facilitated the dialogue between the accused and the public. Silence almost speaks as loudly as words in this situation…. where will the media take it? View more photos.
