    I commend all involved in this for their work in Haiti. But I was very saddened to see that three of the doctors decided to use the trip as an excuse to score cheap political points in the Wall Street Journal. Politics have no place in a disaster such as this but their headline "Obama's Katrina" said it all. Shame. There was a constructive way for them to make recommendations about how help can be better provided and then there was a partisan political way. They chose the latter.

    As someone who has been both to Haiti and who has worked with relief groups in numerous disaster areas, I might advise the three doctors that Third World countries in the midst of unspeakable suffering don't always work with the same efficiency as your home hospitals, where you expect to be treated as Gods.
