Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will host a "Digital Town Hall of the Americas" just before this weekend's 5th Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The "town hall" portion of the events will consist of Hillary taking questions submitted online, while she's on a stopover in the Dominican Republic on her way to meet Haitian President René Préval. (As we all know Hillary is going to be in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow!)
