10 Americans are charged with kidnapping Haitian children.  The Americans are Baptists, mostly from Idaho.  Some of the Haitian parents are saying that they voluntarily gave up the children when the 10 Americans promised that they would have a better life.  However, the Americans told the parents that they would be in the Dominican Republican getting a better education.  And that the parents would be able to contact them.  It turns out that the Baptists were planning on adopting out the children from the Dominican Republican to America to "loving Christian parents." 

There are so many contradictory accounts coming from different sources that it is almost impossible to determine what were the actual intent of the Americans. 

But what prompts any behavior like this?  American arrogance that no place is like America?  Religious mania that kidnapping children is all right?  (Some of them claim that God told them to it....trust me, God did not tell them to kidnap children).  
And what really gets me...The White House has released a statement saying "the case remains in Haitian hands, for now."  For now?
