I thought of this as I read the article - at the point that Neptune's
American Citizenship was being covered in the Haitian news, the rejoinder
was that he was a "dual citizen."  Well, not according to the U.S.  As far
as I know, only the Irish (I have dual citizenship) and Israelis are
accepted by the U.S. govt. to hold two passports.  In recent years, maybe
the English, but a woman I know in her 20s had to turn in her English
citizenship.  Even in the story, the demand to turn in American passport was
mentioned, to get Haitian citizenship.
