“I have faith in God. But maybe the U.S. government could help a little more, too.”
-- Corinna Lankford, one of the U.S. Baptists being held in Haiti. The New York Times reports they're starting to plead for help. They must be desperate, if they're turning to the government, right?
(They've got a new lawyer, by the way. Their old one was fired after he allegedly tried to bribe officials into letting them go, the Times reports.)
