A Little More About Bush and Home Arrest

My friend Keith left me an interesting comment in my post Bush to Brazilians: There's No Jail Like Home:

"Ola Elaine, como vai? You heard, didn't you, that the guy who arranged this visit and whom Bush most wanted to be photographed with, Rodrigo Baggio, refused to meet Bush because of this "invasion" and maltreatment of the favela folks? Baggio's Committee for Democracy in Information Technology (CDI) runs a very successful computer clinic in the favela (and in every state in Brazil plus six other Latin Americanlinks countries) to teach poor kids to be IT techs using the teaching methods advocated by the late Paulo Freire. He said that between the way the residents were treated, and the request that he rehearse beforehand his questions and conversation with Bush, were "unethical" and he would be no part of it. Can't say that I blame him... Um abraço,
Keith "

Yep, I can't blame him either. I probably would have done the same. I didn't knew about this, Keith; thanks for the follow-up.

PS - I'm sorry, but I must correct you: it's Eliane, not Elaine. Anyway, don't worry, it's a common mistake; I get that a lot! :)
