A recent report by U.S. Foreign Aid Watch Organization (13 Feb
2004; online at:
http://www.foreignaidwatch.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=633)
suggested that

'The United States has even denied export licenses for non-lethal
weapons such as tear gas for use in crowd control by the Haitian
Police.'

Does anyone have more information about this?

yours Peter.
