-Caveat Lector- " President Aristide is not viewed with favor by the West. After Aristide's re-election in 2000, he refused the U.S. demand to privatize Haitian state monopolies. Washington answered by freezing $600 million in assistance to Haiti. Aristide also led a campaign to have France pay Haiti $22 billion in reparations for blackmailing newly-independent Haiti with a threat of an international embargo in 1804."

The National Conference of Black Lawyers (NCBL) expresses its maximum outrage and disgust with the imperialist, lawless and brutal campaign of terrorism that has been inflicted on the people of Haiti by the Bush Administration. According to reports, the United States has resorted to the methods of petty gangsters by kidnapping Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide at gunpoint, orchestrating a coup and forcing the country's democratically-elected leader into exile.

They were responsible for a coup in 1991 that forced Aristide from office

For several reasons, President Aristide is not viewed with favor by the West. After Aristide's re-election in 2000, he refused the U.S. demand to privatize Haitian state monopolies. Washington answered by freezing $600 million in assistance to Haiti. Aristide also led a campaign to have France pay Haiti $22 billion in reparations for blackmailing newly-independent Haiti with a threat of an international embargo in 1804. "Coincidentally," France was first to demand that Aristide step down. Given the fact that, historically, the U.S. government, via the CIA, has repeatedly interfered with Haiti's internal affairs to prop up the dictatorship of the Duvalier family and the Haitian business elite,
