In the four weeks since the Haiti earthquake, many – albeit not nearly enough – have expressed outrage over the US military takeover of this tiny country. Among the more well-known are John Pilger and Michael Chossudovsky. In his column for the New Statesman, John Pilger describes the “swift and crude” appropriation of earthquake-ravaged Haiti by the militarised Obama administration. With George W. Bush attending to the “relief effort” and Bill Clinton the UN’s man, The Comedians, Graham Greene’s dark novel about exploted Haiti comes to mind.
