| |
| 3 |  | 2013-01-10: Disbursed but Not Spent by Daniel Whitman, on Pundit Wire | |
| So many of the pledged billions remain committed but not disbursed, or disbursed but not spent. Might not the Haitians or Diaspora themselves been able to help determine how this money might be effectively spent? | Rating: 5 |
| |
| 4 |  | 2012-11-28: U.S. Policy Errors Almost Equally Responsible for Haiti Outcome by James Morrell in CQ Global Researcher | |

| Ambassador's emphasis on this discrepancy suggests that the Haiti Democracy Project's presentation of photographic proof of it could have helped along U.S. thinking. | Rating: 5 |
| |

| 8 |  | 2012-05-26: U.S., International Policy Miscues Have Wasted Martelly's First Year by Robert Bénodin |  |
| Through their manipulation of election results they saddled the country with two diametrically-opposed tendencies in the parliament and executive, which is not how the electorate voted. Resulting parliamentary harassment has cost one year. | Rating: 5 |
| |
| 9 | | 2012-04-26: Members of Congress Urge U.S. to Forestall 'Chaos' in Haiti by Reps. Maxine Waters, John Conyers, and Yvette Clarke | |
| Forward-leaning statement of support for elected president and alarm at loss of last prime minister. Strong recognition of gravity of situation, strong call on U.S. to be proactive. Uneven in its call for rule of law against Duvalier but not Aristide. | Rating: 5 |
| |
| 10 |  | 2011-08-15: Comment by James Morrell, project director | |
| Now come the Economist and Washington Post editorialists contending that a legitimately-elected president must yield to a fraudulently-elected parliament. | Rating: 3 |
| |
| 11 |  | 2011-01-20: U.S. Support Depends on Respect of Will of Haitian Voters by Amb. Susan E. Rice | |

| |
| 12 |  | 2010-08-26: Shrugging Off Haitian Government Ineffectiveness by Cheryl Mills, chief U.S. adviser on Haiti, on ABC News | |
| Haitian government has always delivered at low level. Twenty-eight of 29 ministries collapsed in the quake so it's not surprising that the government is not in evidence. We do need to sit with them regarding holdup of aid in the port. | Rating: 1 |
| |
| 13 |  | 2010-08-12: International Reducing Us To Lowest Common Denominator by Robert Bénodin, Radio Classique Inter | |
| Rebirth of Haiti depends on competence of power-holders, their plan of government, and international aid and good faith. Instead the international reduces us to the lowest common denominator, substituting popularity for qualification. | Rating: 5 |
| |
| 14 | | 2010-06-25: Rebuilding Has Stalled by Senate Foreign Relations Committee | |
| Paralysis in decision-making leaves hundreds of thousands in camps. Significant customs delays

| |
| 15 |  | 2010-04-21: Best If Troops Stayed a Little Longer by James Morrell, director of the project, on ABC News | |
| In general we are glad to see U.S. troops evacuate any Latin American country. But in Haiti, they have saved countless lives and they stave off the anarchy that is likely to come from rampant misgovernance and the U.S. policies that prolong it. | Rating: 3 |
| |
| 16 | | 2010-02-08: Internationals Want Préval, Haitians Do Not by Robert Benodin, Radio Classique Inter | |
| The international community, intent on maintaining him in power to avoid chaos, could provoke the opposite effect. His presence is exacerbating discontent. | Rating: 3 |
| |
| 17 |  | 2010-01-28: A General Staff Headed by U.S. or France Needed by Michel Soukar et al. in Le Nouvelliste | |
| The U.S. or France should head up a general staff with Haitians with authority, a sort of committee of public safety to restore Haitians' self-confidence and put them to work. Both the Haitian government and the U.N. mission have failed. | Rating: 3 |
| |
| 18 |  | 2010-01-23: Tax Deductions for Remittances by Stanley Lucas | |
| Congress should consider tax deductions for Haitian-Americans sending money back. Allowing deductions for up to $10,000 in remittances over the next five years would get a lot more of them contributing to recovery. | Rating: 5 |
| |
| 19 |  | 2010-01-23: Disaster Could Extend U.N. Mandate by Prof. Henry F. Carey, Georgia State Univ., in Columbia Journalism Review | |
| The catastrophe could have one benefit: extending MINUSTAH’s mandate beyond a decade. That should help sustain Haiti’s democratic transition and extend the amount and duration of foreign aid. | Rating: 5 |
| |
| 20 |  | 2009-12-07: The Internationals Intend To Make Fools of the Haitians by Leslie Péan, in Alterpresse | |
