Anderson Cooper, Why?

Tracie Washington, over at Louisiana Justice Institute, has posted Shame on You Anderson Cooper, which has been reposted at RaceWire and Racialicious and likely will be posted at several others soon enough. Here's an excerpt:

A responsible journalist would have been questioning the sanity and humanity of Tony Bennett, this Spawn of Satan, for ever contemplating closing his business and denying basic survival means to these victims. Here are a few questions you might have asked him:

 “Why are you treating these victims this way? Is there some big market the rest of the world doesn’t know about for food recovered during a natural disaster? Where, exactly, are you going to sell this water?”
 “Sir, instead of arming what is now your own private militia, why don’t you ask these Haitian police officers to help you distribute these perishables so that these mothers won’t have to pay for water, and food, and baby formula?”
 “Excuse me, Mr. Bennett, I’m just curious. How are you going to sleep tonight, knowing you’ve denied food and water to hungry children?”

Anderson Cooper was in New Orleans after Katrina, and is still engaging in this buffoonery?! Tony Bennett is armed with a pistol and possesses automatic weapons, as Cooper himself states, and yet is the victim of looting? This is one of the many falsehoods being perpetuated about the situation in Haiti and the people in and of Haiti and must be corrected.
