Well today takes the cake as I just read Paisley Dodd's AP piece which says: "About 10,000 Haitians gathered at the palace hours after celebrating New Year's Day with fireworks crackling, shots ringing out and drums pulsing in the darkness." What Palace was she at, pray tell?
The same Paisley Dodds that Karshan spoke of filed a January 2 Associated Press report on the bicentennial celebrations that failed to include a single quote from President Aristide, visiting South African President Thabo Mbeki, or any member of over a dozen official foreign delegations. Instead, the despicable Dodds provided her global platform to Andy Apaid Jr., a leader of the U.S.-backed opposition. President Mbeki’s visit “brought oxygen to a dying dictatorship" said Apaid, the corrupt business oligarch. The Washington Post ran Dodds’ story under the headline, “Haiti Opposition Demands Aristide Resign” – as if that were news!
Dodds missed her calling… writing fiction is her strong suit. I don't believe her or this "translator". False claims of so-called torture is a favorite ploy of the anti-war, hate America first crowd.
In a word… bullsheet.
