...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

"Naomi Klein reported, 18 July 2005 in The Guardian, on a massacre in Haiti alleged to have taken place the day before the London bombings.
On July 6, 300 UN troops attacked the pro-Aristide slum of Cite Soleil. The UN says that five were killed, but residents say at least 20 were murdered.

Reuters correspondent Joseph Guyler Delva says he "saw seven bodies in one house alone, including two babies and one older woman in her 60s".
Ali Besnaci, head of Medecins Sans Frontieres in Haiti, said that on the day of the siege 27 people came to the MSF clinic with gunshot wounds, three-quarters of them women and children.

The residents of Cite Soleil say they are being killed for daring to demand the return of their elected president."
