#1 Authorities recovered the decapitated bodies of three policemen, among at least seven people killed in the violence.

Man. Everyone's getting into the practice now.

I feel for the good people down there, though. What a catastrophe.

#2 Well, at least they decapitated them to keep them from rising again.
In Hati, death is no barrier to public service.

Seriously, I find it very disturbing to see this level of social breakdown. Normaly there's more social cohesion to pick up the slack when the local gov't bombs off.

#3 Our church supports several missionaries down there, some of whom have been there for decades - they are all saying the same thing: they have NEVER seen it as bad as it is now. The present 'government' basically steals as much as it can get away with and spends a great deal of time out of the country. Haiti is rapidly approaching the point where it's more of a concept than a nation.
