Aristide on Democracy Now

Speaking on the above-referenced radio program this morning (which is also shown via Free Speech TV, the cable network), Aristide was very clear that he says he was abducted by the US military and forcibly removed from Haiti, not knowing his destination until just 20 minutes before they landed after a 20 hour flight.

On the one hand, Aristide has never struck me as a completely credible character. On the other, I don't put what he's accusing our government of doing past the Bush Administration. Bush isn't the first who likely wanted him gone. But subverting a democracy is a much bigger issue than the removal of a single man, and that gravely concerns me.
