From the 2006 US diplomatic cable found and posted by Peter:
Oh that's just world class diplomatic nonsense.
Note that the deathsquad leader Baby Doc was allowed to leave Haiti and settle in Paris.
Whilst democratically elected Aristide, who sent nurses and teachers into the slums of Port-au-Prince, was forcibly removed (kidnapped at gunpoint) by US Marines during George W Bush's presidency, and exiled in Mandela's South Africa.
And here we have US Charge d'Affaires Lisa Kubiske and Morales Troncoso (co-founder of the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic and SMOM member) speaking of Baby Doc Duvalier and Jean-Bertrand Aristide as if they are two sides of the same coin.
"Anti-Duvalier Haitians might seek revenge, even after 20 years, he noted".
Uh - it was the Duvalier's Tonton Macoutes who murdered, by a common estimate, a minimum of 60,000 Haitians.
Quote:3. © Kubiske expressed USG concern over a return to Haiti of either Duvalier or Aristide. Both potentially were provocative and could complicate the ability of any new government to establish itself.
Quote:4. © Morales Troncoso agreed that Aristide and Duvalier supporters would get upset if their opponents returned to the scene. Anti-Duvalier Haitians might seek revenge, even after 20 years, he noted.
