Judge Bernard Saint-Vil said Laura Silsby, the last of the 10 missionaries jailed in Haiti, still faced a lesser charge for allegedly organizing the effort to transport the 33 children to an orphanage they were setting up in the Dominican Republic. Silsby faces up to three years in prison if convicted on the remaining charge, the “organization of irregular trips,” from a 1980 statute restricting travel out of Haiti signed by then-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier. Silsby declined comment from her jail cell. Shiller Roi, a lawyer for Silsby, declined comment, saying he hadn’t yet received the judge’s written decision. The judge told The Associated Press that the charge of organizing the trip was also pending against Jean Sainvil, a Haitian-born pastor from Atlanta who also helped organize the venture.

That might seem unfair to the other characters, but such is the nature of the disaster-movie beast.” How does one make a bunch of scientists tracking a disease interesting? Good question. Claudia Puig writes in USA Today, “The first half of the film builds a haunting sense of dread. But once the medical community steps in to find a cure and players start to multiply as fast as infectious germs, the tension in this peripatetic docudrama dials down.” E! Online gives the movie a B-. For Manohla Dargis of the New York Times, the film works. She writes the film “is as ruthlessly effective as the malady at its cool, cool center.” Are you seeing “Contagion”? Let us know in the comments. And  come back here Monday to see  how it fared in...
