Leaving on a jet plane . . .
Ousted Haitian President, Jean- Bertrand Aristide said he wanted to thank America for the free, unexpected ride to Africa. "It was a very nice 20 hour trip with armed US soldiers," said JBA. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, said he appreciated the kind words from the duly elected leader of Haiti.
"Once again our CIA rises to the occasion," said Mr. Rumsfeld. "I am the victim of a coup d'e'tat, a modern way to have a modern kidnapping."
