What a difference 14 days make: U.S. Warns Haiti Opposition Against Aristide Ouster:
Secretary of State Colin Powell warned Haiti's opposition on Friday against ousting President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was restored to power a decade ago by a U.S. invasion and now faces an armed revolt. "We will accept no outcome that is not consistent with the constitution. We will accept no outcome that in any way illegally attempts to remove the elected president of Haiti,"

"The Bush administration is again engaged in regime change by armed aggression," former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark said. "This time, the armed aggression is against the administration of the democratically elected president of Haiti."

Haiti: Rebel Leaders&Mac226; History of Abuses Raises Fears:

The reemergence of such violent and lawless men is a worrying portent for Haiti&Mac226;s future.

Media Coverage of Haiti Flawed: Analysts:
Almost universally missing from media coverage of Haiti, some critics say, is information about US Government support for the "opposition", a collection of political parties extremely hostile to the government of Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide.
dominionpaper.ca/international_news/2004/02/25/media_cove.html

"Jean Pierre, alias Tatoune, was a local FRAPH leader and was serving a life sentence for the Raboteau massacre, until his escape in a 2002 jailbreak. The opposition also includes civilians like sweat shop owner and US citizen Andy Apaid, who opposed an increase of the minimum wage last year, when Aristide attempted to raise it from the $1.60 per day where it now stands."

Today, in the belated haste to do something — anything — there is a danger of failing to adopt the right set of priorities.
