A Haitian judge has decided to release 10 U.S. missionaries accused of kidnapping 33 children and trying to spirit them out of the earthquake-stricken country, a judicial source told Reuters Wednesday.

However, NBC News reported that no final decision had been made, though it's possible a decision could be made as early as Thursday.

The source told Reuters that the missionaries, who have been in jail since they were stopped at Haiti's border with the Dominican Republic on Jan. 29, could be released as early as Thursday.

"The order will be to release them," the source, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. The decision has not yet been made public.

3. Seems that most of them were stupidly naive, but their leader may be another story...
She seems to have had more than one run-in with established norms in her time, iirc from Keith.

12. Which Clinton?
The State Department stated that they were not going to interfere with another nation's judicial system.

I'm guessing they don't even want to waste precious food/water resources on them when they can be used to help those really in need.

most enlightening part of the story for me was:

'The five men and five women have denied any intentional wrongdoing and said they were only trying to help orphans left destitute by the quake, which shattered the Haitian capital and left more than 1 million homeless. But evidence has come to light showing most of the children still had living parents.'

never let the truth get in the way of taking a kid for your Church

11. How would they know that the kids had family?
They probably couldn't speak haitian, so just assumed they were orphans.:sarcasm:
