What I saw upon arriving was a city that looked more like a Brazilian favela than one of America's most crucial ports. Riding through the streets on the back of a boat steered by a pair of shotgun-toting sheriff's deputies from Indiana, I saw colorless bodies bobbing in the water, often tethered to light posts. Water covered the top of the doors...
