Charlie Rose and the 2004 Coup


Now that Aristide is in the news again for being placed under house arrest, let's watch this video (and the second part) about the 2004 coup in Haiti that unseated Aristide. It's interesting but of course expected to see how Mark Foley and the US Ambassador to Haiti tote the line for the official US stance on what exactly happened without incriminating the US at all. Needless to say, I am more in agreement with Montas and Sachs, particularly in how the US curtailed the numbers of options and policies Aristide's presidency could implement.
