American volunteer missionaries in Haiti held

At the very least they should have their passports revoked and refused them in the future.
That should at least keep them in the US.

They were willfully breaking the law.
The god defense wins again.

BBC News - US missionary convicted of Haiti child smuggling

A US missionary has been convicted of trying to illegally take 33 children out of Haiti in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in January.
The judge sentenced Laura Silsby, 40, to the time she had already spent in jail on remand, and said she was free to leave the country.

Prosecutors first accused her of abducting the children, but the charge was downgraded to one of "irregular travel" - a crime which covers people smuggling.

Interesting.
