Complicit. Just go through Democracy Now transcripts for the period after the takeover of Haiti in Feb 2004 into March 2004.
As an example here is a piece from Maxine Waters. It is not an isolated item.
One can conjure up possible reasons and so on but it still remains that Canada assisted in the takeover.
AMY GOODMAN: It's good to have you with us. Can you describe what is happening right now?
REP. MAXINE WATERS: Well, I was very surprised to come to my office today, having been away on a hearing to find out that I had received an invitation to come to a meeting with Gerard Latortue at 10:30 this morning organized for the Black Caucus. I began to inquire about what was going on, to discover that two of our members had traveled to Haiti and had met with Gerard Latortue and had participated with Republicans in an invitation to come to the United States and meet with members of Congress. I immediately got on the phone and started to call the members of the Congressional Black Caucus. As of this morning, I have 22 members who join with me in no recognition of this illegitimate Prime Minister. There have been no elections.
He was supported essentially by the United States, with the support of France and Canada, to take over the post of Prime Minister after the coup d'etat, and I believe, as other members apparently believe, that he is illegitimate.
He's but a puppet, and we should not recognize him. And so today, in addition to the non-recognition by some of the members of the Black Caucus, ones that I have contacted, we have some Haitian organization leaders who are coming to the capitol where we will hold a press conference and we will denounce not only his presence in the capitol, but the fact that he is presiding over mayhem and murder in Haiti. Every night, members of the Lavalas party, political party, are being killed. This is the party of President Aristide. They're finding young men with their hands tied behind them, with bullet holes in their heads. There was even one case where 20 Lavalas members were placed in a big container and dropped into the sea. They're searching them out. They still have the criminals and the thugs up in charge in Gonaive and Cape Haitien. This is Guy Philippe and Louis Jodel Chamblain and Jean Tatun. These are people who had already been convicted in absentia of murder in the Rabiteau massacres. These were people who were in exile, who were organized to come back in by the opposition, and I believe with a wink and a nod from the United States, Canada and France to create this mayhem. They've burned police stations, they've killed citizens. These were the ones who were threatening to come into Port au Prince and kill President Aristide. They're still occupying the northern part of Haiti. They still have their guns. They're recruiting more soldiers. They're trying to re-establish the military, and they're in charge. And this so-called Prime Minister has not denounced it. He has not said anything. As a matter of fact he was on a program with both Guy Phillipe and Louis Jodel Chamblain. He called them freedom fighters and embraced them. Colin Powell has not denounced them. Noriega has not denounced them. They're roaming around. Mr. Chamblain tried to put together a fake turning-in of himself. Nobody believes that's going on, and what we think is going to happen is this illegitimate government is going to try and pardon them. But it's going to be interesting to see what they do with these murderers who they have left alone for all of this time. For all of these reasons we think that no member of Congress should be meeting with these people -- with Mr. Latortue. We think it is a sham and it's unconscionable that we would embrace this illegitimate puppet knowing what's going on in Haiti.
