Actually it's because Grenada didn't suffer anywhere on par with what's going on in Haiti. Haiti is pretty much deforested. The water has no place to go except the lowest point and pronto. A lot of the region hit is still underwater 5 days after the rains.

A somewhat less appalling item but none the less aggravating was the manner in which MSNBC.COM used the tragedy as an opportunity to make an unfair criticism of the Bush administration. Read the following released in a new report posted here
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6004150/

"The leader of Haiti’s U.S.-backed government, interim President Boniface Alexandre, appealed this week for urgent aid, and numerous countries responded. On Thursday, the U.S. government said it would provide more than $2 million — an increase from $60,000 that some criticized for its paucity."

I thought $60,000 was the legal amount the government could spend until Congress approved more money? Come on, how much lower can biased news outlets like MSNBC.COM go? Does someone know how to complain and who to address a complaint?
