Reply #9: "They were more drug traffickers than they were rebels" [View All]

Remember that quote about the thugs who toppled Aristide, because the Bushistas will be portraying Aristide as the drug kingpin:

Cocaine trafficker: Aristide controlled Haiti's drug trade
Days before President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forced out of Haiti, a notorious cocaine trafficker stood before a federal judge in Miami and said Aristide, once his friend, had turned Haiti into "a narco-country."
"The man is a drug lord," Beaudouin "Jacques" Ketant told U.S. District Judge Federico A. Moreno on Feb. 25. "He controlled the drug trade in Haiti." His country in rebellion, Aristide left four days later aboard a plane provided by the U.S. government.

His lawyer, Ira Kurzban, has denied the former president had anything to do with drug traffickers. Instead, he said, the allegations are politically motivated.
