The unabandoned "Southern Baptist Ten" in Haiti apparently owe some thanks to the Obama administration, especially often-maligned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:
Reg Brown, a Washington,D.C., attorney for detainee Jim Allen of Texas, said Allen's team of lawyers is "cautiously optimistic" that their client would soon be released. "We believe the secretary of state has played a constructive role in that Secretary (Hillary) Clinton wants to bring the Americans home," said Brown, who this week wrote to Clinton asking for her assistance.
Self-protective outcry from Southern Baptist Convention bigwigs, despite their role in causing the problem, may have been irrelevant to the proceedings themselves and, given the SBC's longtime role as a Republican Party auxiliary, off the Obama administration's radar.
