Glad to have had here there. I do wonder, though, what she means about holding the government to account. For what? Holding them to their promises of aid, maybe, but this is perhaps the first time in Haiti where a disaster's got no one to blame (unless maybe you believe in a higher power). Excellent interview.

A good interview - excellent questions. My favourite quote - Joanna's dad on Twitter - "He is following just one person and it is me". Aint that what dad's are all about.... You should know that local Ottawa boy, Carleton journalism grad and all around good guy Brett Popplewell is on route to Haiti to replace Joanna. He is a fine writer and (despite his protestations) will report on Twitter. http://www.thestar.blogs.com/interns/ You are doing good work - don't tire.
