Is it True?

If Aristide left Haiti of his own accord, and wasn't forced out by the U.S., then is what I read at Buzzflash and some other sources true? If so, it doesn't sound much like Aristede is free to come and go or to receive visitors and tends to support what Maxine Waters and others are saying about the situation. I read about an American chaplain in Haiti who says he's spoken with as many 50 different people who reportedly saw Aristede taken forcibly away by people who appeared to be Americans.

Why then is he free to speak on the telephone? Because we can easily recant what he says? I'm mystified.
