Haitian Death Squad Leader Arrested in US - For Mortgage Fraud
"A former leader of a Haitian death squad who now lives in New York was arrested last week for taking part in mortgage fraud. During the early 1990s, Emmanuel "Toto" Constant led the Front for the Advancement and Progress of Haiti, or FRAPH. Human rights groups estimate FRAPH killed thousands of supporters of Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Constant has since admitted he was on the payroll of the CIA and has lived in New York for the last decade.

In November 2000, Constant was convicted in absentia by a Haitian high court for his involvement in the 1994 Raboteau Massacre. Two years ago he was sued in federal court on behalf of three women who said his soldiers beat and gang-raped women in Haiti.

Despite a deportation order, Constant has been allowed to stay in the US since he threatened to reveal the extent of his ties with the CIA."

Be a mass murderer -- just don't cook the book or manage your bills incorrectly.

1. I wouldn't want to be the one to go to arrest him. I'd quit first!
Isn't it odd to know he has ties to the C.I.A.?

Bush is still protecting Cuban "exile" mass murderer, Luis Posada Carriles. I just can't figure out why Bush would protect Posada, and not Constant!



As you recall, Luis Posada has been allowed to roam freely all these years, but didn't get arrested until he gave a press conference in Miami. Maybe that made the powers that be a little sour.
