It's the big lie and the news blackout in action!!

At the top is a photo of the president and first lady surrounded by security
with a mean faced agent staring towards the camera.

The caption states:

Tue Nov 26,12:42 AM ET

"Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide shakes hand with supporters in
Carefour Feuille, Haiti after a rally in this Monday, March 4, 2002 file
photo. More than a thousand anti-government protesters poured into
provincial streets on Monday, clamoring for the resignation of Aristide. (AP

NO mention of the thousands of Lavalas supporters in front of the palace
yesterday. No photos of the thousands of marchers peacefully demanding
democracy be respected in Haiti. Of course not ,silly me, that would alter
from the prim rose path the reader is supposed stroll down to reach
"Aristide the Dictator" lane.

I don't know who has the power to so tightly control the truth but I would
sure like to ask some of the folks in Reagan's state department a few
questions. That's right, I said Reagan's state department. When it comes to
U.S. foreign policy towards Haiti, the Bush administration is just like the
Reagan administration on steroids.  Although I can't imagine a bigger Otto
Reich.

And in case you were wondering, I love my country and her people. I just
cannot stand silent against what I believe to unjust and twisted.
