Also, People's Organization for Progress sponsored an event with Stan Goff, about whom I have posted on numerous occasions (some links). The topic was Haiti, where ex-special forces Goff spent his last tour of duty with the U.S. military, and on which he is an expert. In the course of the talk and following questions and answers, he speaks of the situation in Iraq and our relationship with Venezuela and Cuba as well. The audio is available here, and Q&A here.
Update : Looks like TJ is on a Haiti roll today...besides several links to stories specifically linking the Maxine Waters political woes with her stance on Haiti, he shares one of his great graphics:
