After all that investigation and dealing with that slime in order to "get" JBA.......they couldn't even save face......they have nothing.
Yes, he and the other 26 others who all claimed the same.
Do not forget that Aristide was a darling of the NGO's and Democrat Party.
Why do you think that Clinton allowed the drug trade to explode without exposing him?
Aristide dropped $50 million US dollars into the Democrat Party for current and future elections during his time in exile.
So, he was "protected"Bush ran him out of the country for the drug trade which Clinton was fully aware during his time.
But to think that 27 members of Lavalas went to prison and you guys still think that Aistide was kept in the dark.
You truly take Aristide to be an idiot and a fool.
I do not.
Interesting, so Bill Clinton and the Democrat Party are also drug barons.
Yes, he was complacent in Arisitide's drug trafficking:
Are you serious Gunner!
Did you just quote Lynn Garrison, Raoul Cedras adviser.
Lynn Garrison, the former Canadian military officer who was a CIA spook!
The same Lynn Garrison who worked with US Senators Jesse Helms and Robert Dole in removing a democratically elected president.
You really do not have a clue on what really happened in Haiti over the last few decades nor what's actually going on.
Read up on former US Senator Jesse Helms on his policy ties towards Haiti, and maybe a light bulb will flash over your head.
Everything in that article is correct and has been verified since 2004.
Yes, yes, "Reagan" was a drug lord.
You are such a child like moron.
Grow up, and join the big leagues already.
Another whimsical Aristide fanatic.
It's actually kind of cute, the child like fascination with the guy.
Yes, I know, the "imperialists" took the benevolent former priest from power because he was just too good.
LOL
You're the only Bouki who actually believe that this is more so about Aristide being a "drug dealer".
Not once did I ever argue about how "good" he was for Haiti, so your fanatics label is just as stupid as your narrow minded thoughts.
You have no idea how international politics work. The Aristide story is much bigger and more complex than you will ever understand....with your stupid "drug lord" label analogy.
I merely entertainment myself with you and Ti-Malice on here LOL
Only idiots such as yourself quote books written by the same individuals whose purpose was to destabilized and spread propaganda...and it worked.
Dummy! You don't even know about you're own sources that you're quoting.
Big leagues!!!!???? Your absurdity really cracks me up! lol

I believe that it was Haitian Nationals who revolted against Aristide's murderous, drug trafficking, reign.
So, I guess, the person who proclaims that Reagan was a drug lord operating out of the White House and Jessie Helms from the Senate has it right about Aristide.
As I stated, grow-up, and get into the big leagues, or shut-up, and go sit in the corner.
This is not worth my time....denying historical facts about Reagan, North, Iran Contra......is way too silly
I wasn't criticizing Reagan.....just noting the United States would have been able to get something on Aristide, if one existed, after all none sells drugs for profits like the American government......that's all.
After all that investigation and dealing with that slime in order to "get" JBA.......they couldn't even save face......they have nothing.

The Oliver North File:
His Diaries, E-Mail, and Memos on
the Kerry Report, Contras and Drugs
National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 113
February 26, 2004

Washington D.C., 26 February 2004 - Diaries, e-mail, and memos of Iran-contra figure Oliver North, posted today on the Web by the National Security Archive, directly contradict his criticisms yesterday of Sen. John Kerry's 1988 Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee report on the ways that covert support for the Nicaraguan contras in the 1980s undermined the U.S. war on drugs.
Mr. North claimed to talk show hosts Hannity & Colmes that the Kerry report was "wrong," that Sen. Kerry "makes this stuff up and then he can't justify it," and that "The fact is nobody in the government of the United States, going all the way back to the earliest days of this under Jimmy Carter, ever had anything to do with running drugs to support the Nicaraguan resistance. Nobody in the government of the United States. I will stand on that to my grave."
The Kerry subcommittee did not report that U.S. government officials ran drugs, but rather, that Mr. North, then on the National Security Council staff at the White House, and other senior officials created a privatized contra network that attracted drug traffickers looking for cover for their operations, then turned a blind eye to repeated reports of drug smuggling related to the contras, and actively worked with known drug smugglers such as Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega to assist the contras. The report cited former Drug Enforcement Administration head John Lawn testifying that Mr. North himself had prematurely leaked a DEA undercover operation, jeopardizing agents' lives, for political advantage in an upcoming Congressional vote on aid to the contras (p.121).
Among the documents posted today are:
Mr. North's diary entries, from the reporter's notebooks he kept in those years, noting multiple reports of drug smuggling among the contras. A Washington Post investigation published on 22 October 1994 found no evidence he had relayed these reports to the DEA or other law enforcement authorities.
Memos from North aide Robert Owen to Mr. North recounting drug-running "indiscretions" among the contras, warning that a known drug-smuggling airplane was delivering taxpayer-funded "humanitarian aid" overseen by Mr. North.
Mr. North's White House e-mails recounting his efforts to spring from prison a Honduran general who could "spill the beans" on the secret contra war, even though the Justice Department termed the Honduran a "narcoterrorist" for his involvement in cocaine smuggling and an assassination plot.
Mr. North's White House e-mails and diary entries on his personal meeting on 22 September 1986 with Noriega, following up Noriega's offer to "take care of" the Sandinista leadership if the White House would help "clean up his image."
The text of the Kerry subcommittee report. Pages 145-146 directly quote 15 North notebook entries related to drug trafficking.
Also in the posting is Peter Kornbluh's detailed critique - the January/February 1997 cover story in the Columbia Journalism Review - of news coverage of the contra-drug allegations, including the controversial San Jose Mercury News series.

Kerry Report - Iran/Contra North Notebook Citation Bibliography
Documentation of Official U.S. Knowledge of Drug Trafficking and the Contras
The National Security Archive obtained the hand-written notebooks of Oliver North, the National Security Council aide who helped run the contra war and other Reagan administration covert operations, through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed in 1989 with Public Citizen Litigation Group. The notebooks, as well as declassified memos sent to North, record that North was repeatedly informed of contra ties to drug trafficking.
Document 1
In his entry for August 9, 1985, North summarizes a meeting with Robert Owen ("Rob"), his liaison with the contras. They discuss a plane used by Mario Calero, brother of Adolfo Calero, head of the FDN, to transport supplies from New Orleans to contras in Honduras. North writes: "Honduran DC-6 which is being used for runs out of New Orleans is probably being used for drug runs into U.S." As Lorraine Adams reported in the October 22, 1994 Washington Post, there are no records that corroborate North's later assertion that he passed this intelligence on drug trafficking to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Document 2
In a July 12, 1985 entry, North noted a call from retired Air Force general Richard Secord in which the two discussed a Honduran arms warehouse from which the contras planned to purchase weapons. (The contras did eventually buy the arms, using money the Reagan administration secretly raised from Saudi Arabia.) According to the notebook, Secord told North that "14 M to finance [the arms in the warehouse] came from drugs."
Document 4
On February 10, 1986, Owen ("TC") wrote North (this time as "BG," for "Blood and Guts") regarding a plane being used to carry "humanitarian aid" to the contras that was previously used to transport drugs. The plane belongs to the Miami-based company Vortex, which is run by Michael Palmer, one of the largest marijuana traffickers in the United States. Despite Palmer's long history of drug smuggling, which would soon lead to a Michigan indictment on drug charges, Palmer receives over $300,000.00 from the Nicaraguan Humanitarian Aid Office (NHAO) -- an office overseen by Oliver North, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs Elliott Abrams, and CIA officer Alan Fiers -- to ferry supplies to the contras.
Document 5a and Document 5b
State Department contracts from February 1986 detail Palmer's work to transport material to the contras on behalf of the NHAO.
Evidence that NSC Staff Supported Using Drug Money to Fund the Contras
In 1987, the Senate Subcommittee on Narcotics, Terrorism and International Operations, led by Senator John Kerry, launched an investigation of allegations arising from reports of contra-drug links. One of the incidents examined by the "Kerry Committee" was an effort to divert drug money from a counternarcotics operation to the contra war.
On July 28, 1988, two DEA agents testified before the House Subcommittee on Crime regarding a sting operation conducted against the Medellin Cartel. The two agents said that in 1985 Oliver North had wanted to take $1.5 million in Cartel bribe money that was carried by a DEA informant and give it to the contras. DEA officials rejected the idea.

The Kerry Committee report concluded that "senior U.S. policy makers were not immune to the idea that drug money was a perfect solution to the Contras' funding problems." (See page 41)
U.S. Officials and Major Traffickers
The United States government maintains the closest relationships with the biggest drug dealers.
The United Stated government has always used their drug dealing/criminal contacts to achieve foreign policy goals.....whether it's ousting a democratically elected government in Haiti or use at will whenever they deem it to be convenient....as in the Watergate breaking.
The United States government pushed at the United Nations for a resolution to intervene in Haiti because they said pres. Aristide has lost control of the country. But WikiLeaks documents of American embassy cables to DC show their concern of how it would look when they overthrow Aristide.
Their ace was that pres. Aristide was a drug runner....they funded rebels in the dominican republic, invaded my country and killed thousands during the invasion and installed an occupying force that killed more with additional violence and with their cholera.........
at the end of the day, the same United States who bedded criminals in the hopes of getting pres. Aristide......they failed.
In the meantime.......the same United States has handed my country over to an admitted macoute, bipolar crack addict.
Haiti has lost many times the number of people the United States claim to have lost during 9/11.
CONTRA ARMS CREWS SAID TO SMUGGLE DRUGS

Federal drug investigators uncovered evidence last fall that the American flight crews covertly ferrying arms to the Nicaraguan rebels were smuggling cocaine and other drugs on their return trips to the United States, Administration officials said today.
When the crew members, based in El Salvador, learned that Drug Enforcement Administration agents were investigating their activities, one of them warned that they had White House protection, the officials said.
Recent Congressional investigations have shown that the covert arms-supply operation was set up and managed with significant direction from Lieut. Col. Oliver L. North, the National Security Council aide who was dismissed in November. The flight crew member in El Salvador used Colonel North's name, officials said.
