[Marxism] Haiti's repression begins

[Chris Brady <cdbrady@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that Wash.Post piece, Marv.  When I called up the "print
version" page, an advert appeared alongside, for Lockheed Martin, with
the words:  "TURNING DATA INTO KNOWLEDGE AND KNOWLEDGE INTO ACTION.  We
never forget who we're working for."  Sheesh!  I bet!  And who would
that be?

I must provide that last bits of that report, with some comments in situ
and at the end:

[Rebel terrorist leader] Philippe told reporters Monday that "when the
government is formed, as promised we will lay down our weapons."  [that
is NOT what he promised.  He promised to lay them down as soon as
Aristide vacated office.]

At a police station near the National Palace, reporters asked Louis
Jodel Chamblain, a former death squad leader who is now a top rebel
leader, if he intended to take control of a reconstituted army.  "That's
my secret," he said with a smile.

{Is that ominous enough for you?}

{Do the bosses in DC really think
 we believe they're so naïve?
 That they "had no idea" ? }
