Ten evangelical American Christian have been apprehended and charged in Haiti with child abduction and criminal conspiracy; seems like they got caught with their metaphorical little hands in the till of moral one-upmanship. The Bible bashing swat team were apprehended on the boarder between Haiti and the Dominican Republic with 33 unaccounted for children! For those interested in the detail of this story here's the write-up from the BBC. I read one report that their leader was confident of "God" ensuring they were released and urged everyone to pray, as we can see, her confidence was misplaced. But then again, you have to hand it to them, such breathtaking arrogance, such blatant contempt for the law of the land and a complete disregard for its cultural sensibilities, then again when it comes to most flavours of Christianity, plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose, as they say in those parts.

I just love this story. When I saw an interview with one of the churchie people and his name was Clint, I knew we had a band of idiots here.
I hope they go to jail -- then they can pray to God to save them and we'll see what happens.
E, I agree, although some jail time will probably turn them into martyrs (in their heads at least)
