Mr. Carney is a fervent defender of the Marrassa theory and does not like
Aristide or Preval. Check his website www.haitipolicy.org where he still
serves as an unofficial advisor (he was still chairman a few months ago).He
is not only representing his country but also very active in a powerful lobby
that has been very active against Aristide until his overthrow. There is no
doubt that Washington is not happy about the results and their possible
involvement in the frauds of last week should be seriously considered. Mr.
Carney will be called back soon normally but for now he is Bush's man of
trust in Haiti. Carney makes the policy recommendations to Rice and the
others. He will not tolerate (among other things) any rapprochement with
Chavez to join for instance Petrocaribe. It is just the way it is and the way
it has been in the past 50 years with Cuba and other "so called populist
regimes" in Latin America. Carney and his group are also preparing now a
destabilization campaign against Preval. They do it now in Washington with
Mr. J Bernard and they did it already with Mr. L.Manus and Mr. P..Paquiot
plugging them into anti-Aristide seminars from 2000 to 2004....Mr. Preval
should as soon as possible send a letter to Secretary Rice and ask them to
call Carney back and ask him and his HDP to stop trying to undermine
democracy in Haiti. These games in Washington have to stop. That type of
pressure and interventionism has never helped Haitians in the past and they
only create more divide and confusion not really needed at this time in the
game. Can't they give a break to Haitians and leave them alone at least for a
few months. What they had planned for the post coup d'etat period was not
really a success.

Is Mr. Carney laying the early ground work for that future time when the
U.S. says Preval "isn't performing"? What criteria is to be the base line
for his "performance"? The U.S. won't like any performance of his unless
it's exactly as they say/think it should be.
"Opponents of Haiti's president-elect could use the country's disputed
election result to try and weaken his government "if he doesn't perform,"
the top American diplomat in Haiti said Saturday."
