> I'm wondering if it's true that Camille Chalmers of
PAPDA has the strong connections to the Duvalier era that I've been told
he does. Is it true that his father was a top Minister under Papa Doc? Is
it
also true that Chalmers's Belgian education was paid for with Duvalier
money? What a '180' it would be for Chalmers to now be denouncing US
occupation and neoliberalism if this is the case. Of course, it's enough of
a 180 that PAPDA is now represented in the interim government.

Yes, Camille Chalmers' father was Papa Doc's foreign minister !!!!!!  (a
particularly craven and powerless one, but still...)

Therefore his son is GUILTY of er, er... SOMETHING OR OTHER !!!

Curious that these questions are being asked, when there is complete
silence from these same questioners about the "illegal" US citizenship of
Aristide's prime minister, Yvon Neptune, or about the Macoute-like past and
other shady history of the likes of Aristide's most recent justice minister
(Calixte Delatour) and his justice minister in 1991 (Bayard Vincent) or
Aristide's appointment of public Duvalierists to his cabinet at one point,
including one who remained under public indictment (from several years
earlier) for embezzlement of millions dollars of state funds (see Haiti
Progrès' vigorous campaign against his appointment).

Could it simply be, could it just be that Camille Chalmers er... dared to
break with the rent-a-radicals and their religious adoration of Aristide
over the past year?  He who lives in Haiti, while the comfortably-off
rent-a-radicals do not, of course.

By Fenton's argument, anyone living in Haiti under Papa Doc was a
Duvalierist and anyone living in the US under Bush is a er... supporter of
the invasion of Iraq/Haiti, or a criminal accomplice to it by paying taxes
to support it.
