Justice in Haiti

Re “In Haiti, Wheels of Justice Turn Ever So Slowly,” April 11: Isn’t The Times being naive in thinking that those Haitian thugs who drove President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from office will be brought to justice?

Though elected by the people of Haiti, the so-called “mad priest,” Aristide, had little credibility among the leading circles in the U.S. and was abhorred by his country’s entrepreneurs.

If Michel-Joseph Francois and Emmanuel Constant are forced to appear in a court of law, they will surely defend their actions by claiming a tie to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

It is doubtful that the CIA will sit still for another examination of its suspected clandestine activities. Francois has already disappeared. I wonder where they will hide Constant?
