Haiti's suit called 'baseless'

MIAMI -- A lawsuit filed by Haiti's interim government accusing former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide of stealing millions of dollars is "baseless," his lawyer said Thursday.

The 74-page lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. federal court by several law firms representing the Haitian government, alleges that Aristide and eight co-defendants broke U.S. law with wire transfers made with stolen public funds and revenues from the Haitian treasury and Haiti Teleco, the state-owned telephone company.

Ira Kurzban, Aristide's Miami attorney, said this was part of the continuing "misinformation" campaign by Haiti's government against Aristide since his ouster in February 2004 in an armed rebellion. Aristide has been living in South Africa since his ouster.

and Haiti can be added to Bu$h's crimes against peace.

...Fashist puppets must have to try this.
