Clinton Foundation to Review Haiti Trailers Following Exposé 
--------------------------------------------------------------



Former President Bill Clinton's foundation has pledged to address shoddy
and potentially toxic trailers it ha sent to Haiti following an exposé
in The Nation magazine. In a story covered on Democracy Now!, The Nation
reported Clinton Foundation-funded shelters turned out to be a series of
trailers beset with problems including mold, shoddy construction and, in
one case, worrying levels of formaldehyde. The trailers were built by
the same company, Clayton Homes, currently being sued for providing
formaldehyde-laced trailers for residents displaced after Hurricane
Katrina. The Clinton Foundation says it will now send in a team of
experts to address the article's findings.
