Yesterday, with Aristide fleeing in a U.S. jet while Colin Powell is on the phone to desparately find a country somewhere on the globe that will offer the reverend safe haven, I figured the big news would be covered in The Wall Street Journal. (The WSJ is the only paper from New York, London or Paris that arrives in Montréal before noon of the day it appears.)
They ran the story on Page 3 with only a tiny summary on the front page, so I bought Canada's Globe & Mail instead and got the latest news.
But, as we saw in Afghanistan and Iraq, when you read The Independent or the Guardian (both English) you are offered a more humanly objective view compared to any of the major American papers treating a situation even remotely touching on U.S. strategic and economic interests.
