Guy Philippe

Susanna Nesmith wrote a puffish piece on "rebel" leader Guy Philippe for Knight Ridder.  He loves old movies and such.  Strange, but she doesn't bother to mention how Philippe was alleged to be involved in an earlier coup attempt.  But there is an interesting line if anyone still has doubt over what kind of people these "rebels" are:
"He said the man he most admires, however, is former Chilean dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who was known for concentrating, not separating, power. "Pinochet made Chile what it is." No. 2 on his list is former U.S. President Ronald Reagan."
