Interview with Brian Concannon, director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti. Includes the following quote attributed to Bill Clinton while in Haiti (from NPR recording):
NPR: Here's former President Bill Clinton speaking with a reporter about this very subject while in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital just after the earthquake.
Unidentified Woman: Are the problems in Haiti in part due to your political policies when you were president?
President Bill Clinton: Yes. It's very difficult to say that now, to people whose loved ones have been killed. But Haiti was a house of cards that we built through a history of exploited economic policy, which has been revealed by this natural disaster. Now we have a chance to rebuild a more independent society, ending exploitation, forgiving their debt and bringing back real sustainability.
