Retired 3-Star General: U.S. should take Haiti refugees — “It’s a moral issue. We ought to do what we can to help people.”

AP reports that “[r]etired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who was credited with restoring order in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, is calling on the United States, and in particular the governors along the Gulf Coast, to offer refuge to the most vulnerable Haitians affected by the deadly Jan. 12 earthquake. ‘It would be nice, very moral, if our governors would reach out and take the vulnerable population to a place that is safe,’ Honore said by telephone Wednesday. `It’s a moral issue. We ought to do what we can to help people.'”KJ
