Eyewitnesses say that one Lavalas victim died in a hail of U.S. Marine
bullets, falling back with one hand held high making the 'five-year sign'
for
President Aristide to serve out his term and holding the Haitian blue and
white
flag in the other hand. His body was taken away by the U.S. Marines in a
plastic
bag.

Does this ring true to many people? It seems symbolically overwrought to
me. The hail of bullets, the desperate, dying, last-gasp pro-Aristide
gesture, the resonant blue and red flag, the vanished, unaccounted-for
body: all these seem almost cinematic.

Are there any other reports on this? With names or attributed quotes,
say?
