It's a loan. No, it's a grant. No, it's a loan again. Oh, wait; are you still paying attention?

Ah, IMF. You can always be counted on in times like this. First you're gearing up to give Haiti a $100 million loan (with the conditions that Haiti raises the price of electricity, keep inflation low, and not give any public employees raises), and then because of the earthquake you drop the conditions and decide it should be a grant, instead. And then, when people stop paying attention, you change your mind again.
