When I first saw the headline, I thought "What officer? US Military? State Dept?" Then you read - it is a anonymous Hatian cop. The anonymous cop was tipped off by a "concerned Hatian citizen." I'll give 10-1 odds it was a local voodoo priest or priestess.
These Baptists were simply trying to save the lives of children during pure chaos, and get them out of a hellish situation and into safety. The fact that Hillary, Holder, Napolitano, and Obama are so silent on this speaks volumes on their own culpability to this evil act.
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first."
John 15:18
The MSM reports since the arrest of the missionaries has been cheering and hooting, combined with seething hatred towards the Christians. CNN had a report last week where the reporter on the ground (same one as this article?) held up a paper card written by the missionaries to hand out to people as containing "3 lies, and I am going to expose them all here on the air!" Insanity.
Look at some of the comments from the CNN site. You will see on display the devil's hatred of God and His people.

Laura Silsby’s background called into question

MERIDIAN — Laura Silsby has her supporters. They say her work is in the name of God and that she was simply trying to help children. But now there are others who paint a different picture of the Baptist missionary.
“They have been in our church for a couple of years,” Central Valley Baptist Church pastor Clint Henry said. “But somewhere during that period of time they began talking about what they were envisioning to do, this dream that they had.”
Henry is referring to Laura Silsby and Charisa Coulter. In a previous interview with KTVB, he said the women, both members of his congregation came up with the orphanage idea on their own.
“So our church is not a key player in making the orphanage happen, that is, that is, everything they have done,” Henry said.
The church’s role in this trip to Haiti was basically providing volunteers, which they saw as a ministry opportunity for the congregation.
“So we agreed to partner with it and decided to go because we have people that love doing stuff like that and touching people’s lives,” Henry said.
Laura Silsby and her employee Charisa Coulter were in charge. They claim their documents were in order, but government officials in Haiti say that is not the case.
Silsby’s former employee Brian Jack says he’s not surprised. “It’s a lack of foresight and planning, once again she did that in her business life and it sees to follow in personal life.”
After being laid off, Jack found work with Silsby at her company, Personal Shopper. He says the business was not making money and would often go weeks, even months without getting paid.
“The last time I received a check has been approximately two weeks ago and it was for the pay period for April the 20th of ‘09.”
But Silbsy’s financial problems go much deeper.
Her Meridian home is being foreclosed on.
“They moved in a hurry like they were running, they were throwing things in their cars,” said Chris Wentzel, a former Silsby neighbor.
“Right now shady comes to mind, unscrupulous, ultimately she is out for herself,” said Brain Jack.
The fallout from the mission trip has many asking questions, specifically why the group was transporting children with parents, when their mission statement said they would be helping those left without.
“They want to bring kids out who have no home, who have no parents, who have no hope,” said Brenda and Mel Coulter, parents of Charisa Coulter.
“Our team went down with no intention of doing anything illegal,” said Pastor Clint Henry.
This is the thanks you get for trying to help.
This story has always made little sense to me from the start. I don’t have enough info to come to a conclusion about motivation, but when a group has paperwork from the parents allowing the children to be taken to wherever they were being taken, to get them out of that hell on earth and then they try to smear the missionaries there is something wrong.
I’d say you’re right on with your assessment.
I cannot help but think that there is something more to this story. There are many other Christian groups which are working in Haiti, including those which are actively taking children outside of the country for adoption, and so far there have been no other reports of widespread arrests and attacks on these groups.
Don’t jump to conclusions.

“Lawyer for Baptists Blames Group’s Leader”
http://www.idahostatesman.com/newsupdates/story/1067267.html
“Laura Silsby, a local missionary to Haiti, left trail of financial woes in Idaho”
Persecution of Christians and Haitian officials fishing for bribes.
......This case is about Christian persecution, plain and simple......
Or perhaps Christian hubris. The “we know better than the ignorant black Hatians” syndrome is involved as well.
Oh, a Haitian police officer said it, so it MUST be true. I’d trust a Democrat’s word over a Haitian police officer’s.
The question no one is answering: Did they obey the authorities or not?
They so want to blame somebody for being evil and causing their misery, it's a pitiful example of The Emotional Plague. The horrible destructive idea that spreads like the plague through groups of people. I'm told the only thing that counteracts it is the light of day.
The missionaries were led by an incompetent. Let them go home and never return to Haiti with any aid.
Keep em in jail. Let them start a prison ministry. Maybe they should help poor kids in Idaho or send their tax money to Florida to help us pay for all the haitians bankrupting FL.
And yet you would see her take a busload of children across an international border with no oversight by anyone, and cheer her on, because she uses the word "Christian" to describe herself.
By one account she did not even know the names of the children.
According to Wikileaks the attorney who got Silsby freed was Jorge Puello Torres who was wanted by El Salvador as a suspect in a human trafficking ring and El Salvador officials suspected him of being involved in running a human trafficking ring that recruited Central American and Caribean women and girl and forced them to work as prostitutes.
