PORT-AU-PRINCE -- Haitian police took Jean-Claude Duvalier to a courthouse in downtown Port-au-Prince Tuesday afternoon after he was taken into custody. Charges remained unknown.
Heavily-armed police picked up the long-ago toppled dictator known as ``Baby Doc'' at the posh Karibe Hotel in Petionville two days after his surprise return from exile. He said nothing as he escorted through the back of the hotel, but a companion laughed when asked if Duvalier was being arrested.

Quelle surprise! Well, that didn't take long. Hope he gets what's coming to him.

Well, they could start with theft in office charges.

Hubris. Pure hubris. Guess he never read the Greek classics.

He always seemed to be dumber than a box of rocks, and he just proved it.
Somehow living in Port-au-Prince was so much more attractive than living in Paris.

Keep in mind the meeting with Gov. officials BEFORE this arrest. It’s just part of the show. Baby Doc would have never been let back in without Clintons approval or the current Gov. This is all show.
I’m not convinced this guy couldn’t bring some stability to the country. Yes, he carried a big stick when he was their leader, but there was fae less instability during his time there. Some people don’t understand anything but a stick...Haitians do understand that.
Of course he was corrupt...tell me what nations leaders aren’t and don’t skim off the top. Including the usa. Haitians are in no position to govern themselves until there’s some degree of stability. For them a despote might work on a temporary basis.
Again, he would not have returned without invitation to do so no matter what the propaganda show is now.

Perhaps he can have a ‘necklace.’
He used to LOVE necklaces, and the aroma.
OOPS! Hate speech from the right!

Maybe, just maybe there is hope and justice for Hati after all. They should have a swift trial and lock this former dictator thug up for life ASAP!
