WASHINGTON (Reuters) - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will fly to Haiti on Saturday to get a firsthand look at the earthquake relief effort as well as to help evacuate some Americans caught up in the disaster.
They could evacuate at least one more person if they just sent the plane and she didn't go. Probably 100 more, what with all the security and whatnot. Why on Mars does the Secretary of State think she needs to physically go somewhere which is in the midst of an epic disaster?
