Just to note that Mr Dorval has since written to me in an off-group e-mail
to say he has now discovered that in fact Aristide did say those things.
But he warns that they are not to be taken out of context in a speech that
is one of "love, reconciliation, respect, freedom and liberty for all."  He
adds:  "Don't try to paint Aristide as a racist."

I did not do so, Mr Dorval.
