The only problem with this dispatch is the fact that Haiti's Ambassador to
Jamaica
had already left his post the day following Aristide's ouster by the U.S. 
Besides, under the Haitian constittution, foreign affairs (including appointing
and recalling ambassadors) fall under the purview of the president and not the
prime minister.

Oh, one more thing:       .
How can Mr. James affirm that "[Aristide's]   return to the Caribbean
threatened to spur more violent protests to demand his return"  ?
Sounds curiously more like the Bush Administration's line.
