I've heard that a lot of evangelical Christians are screaming about this.

ecretary of State Hillary Clinton will not get directly involved in the case of the 10 Americans detained in Haiti on child abduction charges, a State Department spokesman said Tuesday.

“It would be highly unusual for the secretary of state to intervene in a case involving the judicial process of another country,” spokesman P.J. Crowley said in an off-camera question-and-answer session.


The State Department also has ruled out any special role for former President Bill Clinton in a possible release of the Americans. “It is unnecessary for former President Bill Clinton to play the role of intermediary as he did in North Korea in the case of the journalists being held,” Crowley told CNN on Monday. “The situation in North Korea and the situation in Haiti are dramatically different. In Haiti there is a functioning government with which we have diplomatic relations and established channels to monitor and deal with bilateral issues. North Korea is an opaque society with which we have no diplomatic relations.”
