Haiti invasion, redux?(Insider Report)
In 1994, U.S. troops occupied Haiti, under orders from the UN Security Council. Grandly entitled "Operation Restore Democracy," the UN-mandated mission was intended to reinstall Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the drug-addicted Marxist ruler who had been overthrown in a military coup.
During his reign Aristide cultivated civic unrest through his rampant corruption and endorsement of terrorist tactics. He was particularly enchanted with the use of "necklacing," a method of torture-murder pioneered by South African terrorists to deal with their opponents: The victim is soaked in gasoline, and has a burning tire placed around his neck after his hands have been bound or even chopped off.
Addressing a mob of his tire-and-gasoline-toting supporters in Port-au-Prince on September 27, 1991, Aristide conferred his benediction on this unspeakable atrocity.
"A faker who pretends to be one of our supporters, just grab him; make sure he gets what he deserves with the tool you now have in your hands," he declared, referring to the tire "necklaces." "The burning tire--what a beautiful tool! What a beautiful instrument! It's fashionable. It smells good. And wherever you go, you want to smell it."
