Late-Night
cont’d from pg 7
tion’s top markets indi-
cates that Colbert’s show
Wednesday night slight-
ly exceeded the previous
Wednesday — indicat-
ing no immediate fallout
from the Putin joke.
“The polarization of
politics has migrated into
the polarization of late-
night humor,” said Rob-
ert Lichter, the George
Mason professor who di-
rects the comedy content
research. “People want to
hear jokes about the poli-
ticians they don’t like.”
That in itself turns
some conventional wis-
dom on its head: for
years many late-night
comics made it a point
to be equal opportunity
abusers for fear of turn-
ing off one side or anoth-
er, he said.
Trump has been the
target of some 1,060 late-
night jokes since taking
offi ce, the study said.
That puts him on pace
to beat President Bill
Clinton’s record of 1,717
jokes in 1998, the year his
aff air with Monica Lew-
insky was in the news,
Lichter said.
Colbert, for his part,
isn’t taking any pity on
the president.
“He, I believe, can take
care of himself,” Colbert
said Wednesday. “I have
jokes; he has the launch
codes. So, it’s a fair fi ght.”
World cont’d from pg 12
the day with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
A Russian plan to stabilize Syria aft er more than
six years of civil war is the most urgent foreign
policy topic on the agenda. But the meeting will be
impossible to separate from the Trump adminis-
tration’s unfolding political drama in Washington,
where FBI and congressional investigations are
looking into possible collusion between Trump
campaign associates and the Kremlin related to last
year’s presidential election. U.S. intelligence agen-
cies have asserted that Moscow meddled in the elec-
tion to help Trump’s chances of victory.
The stigma of the Russia probes has been impossi-
ble for Trump to shake. Trump on Tuesday abrupt-
ly fi red FBI Director James Comey, ousting the na-
tion’s top law enforcement offi cial in the midst of
the bureau’s investigation into Trump’s ties with
Russia.
Less than a month into Trump’s presidency, he
fi red his national security adviser, Michael Flynn,
saying Flynn misled senior administration offi cials
about his pre-inauguration talks with Sergey Kis-
lyak, Russia’s ambassador in Washington.
Iraqi Boys’ Harrowing Tale of
Captivity, Training by IS
KABARTO CAMP, Iraq (AP) — They made the
captive children, malnourished and weak from
hunger, fi ght over a single tomato. Then the Islamic
State group militants told them, “In paradise, you’ll
be able to eat whatever you want. But fi rst you have
to get to paradise, and you do that by blowing your-
self up.”
The lesson was part of the indoctrination infl ict-
ed by the militants on boys from Iraq’s Yazidi reli-
gious minority aft er the extremist group overran
the community’s towns and villages in northern
Iraq. The group forced hundreds of boys, some as
young as 7 or 8, into training to become fi ghters
and suicide bombers, infusing them with its mur-
derous ideology.
Now boys who escaped captivity are struggling
to regain some normalcy, living in camps for the
displaced along with what is left of their families.
Aft er surviving beatings, watching horrifi c atroc-
ities, being held for months or years apart from
their parents, losing loved ones and narrowly
escaping death themselves, they are plagued by
nightmares, anxiety and outbursts of violence.
“Even here I’m still very afraid,” said 17-year-old
Haiti cont’d from pg 9
have taken advantage
of public benefi ts. She
asked for that informa-
tion in four separate
emails. She also asked
how much money Hai-
tians have sent home
and how oft en they’ve
traveled back to Haiti.
Frequent travel could
suggest improved con-
ditions.
“Please dig for any
stories (successful or
otherwise) that would
show how things are
in Haiti - i.e. rebuild-
ing stories, work of
nonprofi ts, how the
U.S. is helping certain
industries,” Kovarik
wrote on April 28. “We
should also fi nd any re-
ports of criminal activ-
ity by any individual
with TPS. Even though
it’s only a snapshot and
not representative of
the entire situation, we
need more than ‘Haiti
is really poor’ stories.”
The emails were
largely directed to
non-political employ-
ees. They responded
by saying much of the
data was not available
or was diffi cult to fi nd
in government records
systems.
Maria Odom, a for-
mer Citizenship and
Immigration Services
ombudsman in the
Obama
administra-
tion, said she was puz-
zled by the inquiries
about criminal ac-
tivities. She said the
government already
checks criminal histo-
ries of applicants and
denies protections to
those who’ve broken
U.S. laws.
“You should not craft
a humanitarian poli-
cy based on the few,”
Odom said.
