CBC: Bush helped rebels oust Aristide
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) yesterday accused the Bush administration of deliberately exacerbating the violence in Haiti to hasten the ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

They charged that the White House misled lawmakers about its intentions as it undermined Aristide — who was restored to power in 1994 by the Clinton administration following a coup — and forced him to flee to the Central African Republic.

Black lawmakers said the White House must prove that Aristide was not kidnapped.

They demanded conclusive evidence that the Haitian leader — whose 2000 election victory was internationally condemned as fraudulent — was not forced out at gunpoint.

1. The BFEE are like those hero firemen who show up just in time,
because they set the fire.

3. When Will The CWC Get Off Of Thier...
asses and give our brothers and sisters a hand in this affair? How long is the CWC going to let them twist in the wind while the CBC defends Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the people of Haiti and themselves against this onslaught? These good people stand for what they believe in at every turn. What do they receive for their determination? The backside of another white Democrat looking for the next white, Republican convert. I am sorry CBC.
