oops. Forgot this part:

An African-American activist says Aristide told him on the phone Monday that he was kidnapped at gunpoint by American soldiers and ousted in a U.S. coup d'etat. Aristide said he was being held prisoner at the Renaissance Palace in Bangui, Central African Republic, said the activist, Randall Robinson. *

So, we are to believe that he is being held prisoner after some secret coup that our administration is trying to cover up, yet we let him make phone calls at will to tell the world about it. Oh, and by the way, does anyone know what the last bid was on E-Bay for the Brooklyn Bridge.
