As you know, I highly dislike Marty Nemko (surprisingly, Dwight
Hawthorne also dislikes Marty Nemko).  I take whatever he says
with a large, hypertension-filled grain of salt.

I heard some things yesterday.  However, I've been reading in
the world press that there's been no mention of the being
handcuffed or being escorted by American troops.  So, I'm not
too alarmist about the situation ('though I do hope some
Haitians make it to Florida!).
