What’s Penn’s exit strategy?
Establish a Socialist regime and declare “victory”?
Pass around tainted kool aid?

The money quote from the article:
"The organizations that are preparing to leave have said they are concerned that continued camp services and management will prolong people staying in temporary shelters, and discourage them from rebuilding."
Be it 99 weeks of unemployment benefits or free trailers for Katrina victims, it ain't easy to get people off the gravy train.

LOL! Hopefully Sean will keep dumping money into Haiti. Haitian refugees are bankrupting Florida.
Anyone remember “Peggy Joseph” who Obama was gonna pay her rent and gas up her car? She was an American born Haitian.

If Penn wants to stay in Haiti for the next 10 years, that is perfectly fine with me.
To: silverleaf
As much as I can’t stand the guy, it looks like he is trying to do good things, same sort of effort during Katrina too. Maybe he has a lot of bad mojo to payback before his number gets called.
OR he is just show boating to try and shame the U.S. for not doing more?

If he’s really working behind the scenes, without all the fanfare of his sojourn down to New Orleans, then I say, good for him. I’ll have to investigate further......

Chances are his soultion will be a publicity campaign for more US aid dollars.
No need to spend his own....
To: enraged
He's good at "show boating".

Well, it used to be a golf course. Now it's packed with more than 50,000 homeless and is known as "Sean Penn's camp," because the actor's humanitarian organization, JP/Haitian Relief Organization, runs it. Everyone knows the camps are hotbeds of rape and violent crime, but we've been planning all day for Marc to drop me off here to meet someone. His sudden worry about my getting out of the car is a little unsettling ...... (Update: Sean Penn has written me to emphasize that he and J/P Haitian Relief Organization are committed to their work in Haiti for the long term.)
