It began as a Bible-thumping blunder. It looked like it might work - what with chaos running in the streets. But most of all it was murky. The story of the ten American missionaries who claim to have been taking 33 Haitian children to an orphanage in the Dominican Republic gets murkier: Turns out that the Dominican man acting as the Baptist missionaries' legal counsel has a few legal problems of his own. Jorge Torres Puello is wanted by Salvadoran authorities. According to the warrant, Torres Puello is accused of running an international sex trafficking ring that lured girls in with promises of “modeling” jobs overseas. Altogether, he has three outstanding warrants against him, two in the US and the one in El Salvador. And here’s the nut of it: Torres Puello contacted the missionaries after reading of their problems in the paper, and he offered his “services” free of charge. Since Puello isn't actually a lawyer, it leaves one puzzeling over what those "services" might consist of. Add it all up and see what you 'murk' of it….
