AP: Aristide "was kidnapped"

The story hits the Associated Press wires (albeit buried under lots of nonsense):

Randall Robinson, former president of TransAfrica, a Washington-based group that monitors U.S. policy toward Africa and the Caribbean and supported Aristide, told CNN that the former Haitian president claimed he was abducted from Haiti by U.S. troops who accompanied him on a flight to the Central African Republic.

``He did not resign, he was kidnapped. We have undertaken a coup against a democratically elected government in Haiti,'' Robinson said, adding that Aristide told him that he and his wife were not allowed to make any telephone calls before leaving and did not sign a resignation.
