Just as Bob Corbett, I am quite disappointed by Dorce's response.
To my request for enlightenment, she persevered with irresponsible
allegations.
Regarding the matter of Leon Manus' alleged presidential aspirations
and the coup, Dorce could have spared us the funny story.
 I wish that Ms. Dorce would "think" for a moment, of what it
is like for someone as old as Mr. Manus to find himself in exile
- God knows for how long -, simply because he truly believed
that Haitians were entitled to free and
fair elections.
 One last comment Ms Dorce, nobody will contest your right to
say what you want, and to express your opinion. However, when
you make such serious and libelous allegations, I and any responsible
person expect that you will
support them with facts, and not innuendoes.
It's unfortunate that you have chosen otherwise.....

Charles Manus

PS. Bob, I am Leon Manus' son, not his brother.
