Cocaine Already Flowing from Haiti to U.S.

Here's a pungent report from the Miami Herald.

At least 99 kilos of processed cocaine - Customs says "$1.75 million worth of cocaine" - were seized on Monday on an incoming freight ship coming from, you guessed it, Haiti...

Like most Haitian freighters, the Anicia arrived empty on Saturday evening after spending a month in the port of Gonaives.

So, let's get this straight. A freighter docks for a solid month in Haiti (a month prior to Monday would have been February 14th or so)... just as the US-trained paramilitary mercenaries enter from the Dominican Republic and begin destabilizing the country... On February 29th, when President Jean-Paul Aristide is forced to leave, the freighter is still sitting there... Dictator-for-Seven-Days-and-Counting Gerard Latortue takes illegitimate power last Wednesday... a few days later the freighter takes off for Florida, empty of freight, except for the hidden contraband... and, viola!, a literal "shitload" of cocaine!

(The coke was found in the ship's septic system. Eewwwwww! Think about that before putting black market product up yer nose!)
