We have to be honest here. This should never have happen. O’reilly talked about this early on his program about the billions in aid for Haiti and it’s worse now than it was in 1993.
I agree that the billions in aid were wasted, but given the total devastation over such a large swath of that small country, I doubt there’d be much difference on the ground right now even if Haiti had been prosperous and flourishing before the quake.
Al, if Haiti had been a prosperous nation before this, it’s likely that many of the buildings would have been stable and not have collapsed so quickly and easily. Our Police Commissioner (Ray Kelly, father of former FNCer Greg Kelly) used to work with the Haitian police and was there only a week or so before the earthquake, and he pointed to that as a major reason for why so many people were killed in this tragedy.

Overwhelming. The way Shep picked that up, and what he had to say near the end, was beautiful.

If anyone is wondering why Shepard isn’t in Haiti himself, this may be the reason http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8c9JxzkYP0

Good clip, BW. Sounds like Shep is a pretty brave guy.

Shepherd Smith showed in that clip, again, why he is the best in the business. The man is immensely talented, and poignant.
