This is hard to read so I am going to post each email in the chain as a separate post:

Sent: Wed Feb 17 19:50:10 2010 Subject: Statement for after flight goes wheels up

All-

Below is the statement for spox to release for after the flight goes wheels up. I will let you know when that happens. We anticipate around 8:30pm. CA has reached out to HHS who will be receiving the plane and they will help keep media away from the AmCits and facilitate entry. Once they arrive in Miami it is up to them to get to their destination.

Thanks, Caitlin

Today, the Haitian judge released eight of the ten American citizens and they have departed Haiti for the United States. Two members of the group are being detained in Haiti to answer further questions, as the investigation is ongoing. The United State Government respects the sovereign right of the Government of Haiti to conduct its

own judicial processes. The United States Embassy in Port au Prince has been providing the detained Americans with consular visits and assistance to ensure that they are safe and receiving necessary care. Haitian authorities have been cooperative in ensuring the individuals' safety and welfare since their arrest and we have

every expectation this will continue. o
