Kidnappers spread new form of terror in Haiti
Jean Henold Buteau's wife listened frantically to the brusque voice on the other end of the phone: We've got your husband. Give us US$1 million or start planning his funeral.
Then she heard his screams as the kidnappers tortured her bound and hooded husband, crushing the tips of his fingers and earlobes with steel pliers and burning his feet with melted plastic juice bottles.

Buteau's 20-hour abduction in April was part of a rash of kidnappings adding to the misery in violence-torn Haiti.

1. Nice distopia they have going there.
If they have $1,000,000US and they live in Haiti it's no surprise they are targets. They need some of that good Iraq style private security".

2. It wouldn't surprise to find out that security firms profits are one of
the motives for GOP war and chaos!
