I don't get it

How exactly, does..."Haiti is a violent and extremely corrupt place"... even qualify as news?

Ditto, Afghanistan...

The shooting — the highest toll for NATO forces since nine Americans died in a Sept. 21 helicopter crash — was the latest in a series of shootouts in which Afghan security forces have turned on their NATO partners.

There have been a number of incidents in which Afghan police officers turned on their trainers in deadly shootouts.

Hmmm... that's some Religion of Peace.
