        Is this the same Haiti Connect whose members were photographed in a national newspaper lounging in a Florida swimming pool on the way to the disaster zone? Is this the same Haiti Connect that hired the most expensive and luxurious accommodation in Part-au-Prince? Is it the outfit that ultimately achieved nothing at all in Haiti?

        Not much of a claim to have on your CV.
