Sponsoring a coup against a democratically elected president can make for terrible public relations.  But fortunately for the murdering thugs that brought down Aristide and the criminals that backed them, the U.S. is full of people who are so...full of it...as to make them perfect for this sort of difficult P.R. work.  Case in point, this press release, from "Project 21", which has already been rewritten and posted as "news" by Talon News http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/newswire/news2004

Black Groups Call for  Investigation of Congressional Black Caucus
Details of Black  Lawmakers' Relationship with Deposed Haitian Leader Sought
Wow.  Sounds serious, doesn't it?  Even "black groups" are wondering why members of the Congressional Black Caucus have said such things about the Haiti coup.  If I believed everything printed by the AP or broadcast on TV, I might be wondering the same.  
In response to actions and comments by  members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) regarding American  policy toward Haiti, the African-American leadership network  Project 21 endorsed a letter to Chairman Joel Hefley (R-CO) asking  the U.S. House of Representative's Committee on Standards of  Official Conduct to conduct a formal investigation of the CBC.
The letter was originally sent on April  1, 2004 by the Brotherhood Organization for a New Destiny, a  family-focused, community-based organization in Los Angeles, California founded by Project 21 member Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson.
Oh.  I thought that name rang a bell.  Peterson is the founder and annual purveyor of a special holiday in wingnut land called "Repudiate Jesse Jackson Day."  So maybe we shouldn't be surprised that not only do Rev. Peterson's BOND and Project 21 "groups" find telling the truth about the coup akin to inciting violence, but they also find the mere act of traveling to Haiti a questionable act in itself.  See for yourself:
The letter to Hefley states: "We  are seriously concerned about the inflammatory language and tone  of [the CBC's] accusations. By misinterpreting the truth about what happened in the last few hours before [former Haitian president]  Aristide left office, these lawmakers are inciting hatred, suspicion  and possibly violence towards the White House, State Department  officials and the new administration in Haiti."
The call for an investigation comes after  members of the CBC alleged the Bush Administration forced Haitian  president Jean-Bertrand Aristide from office and called Undersecretary  of State Roger Noriega a "Haiti-hater." Additionally,  the letter to Chairman Hefley calls attention to the CBC's apparent  close relationship to the former Aristide regime that included  several member trips to the island, former members lobbying of [sic]  behalf of the regime and recent appearances abroad with the deposed  Aristide.
Maybe this is like some kind of gateway theory, where going to Haiti to learn something firsthand about the country and its people would lead straight to the hard drug of - violence inciting truth telling.  But how lobbying for aid to the poorest country in the hemisphere becomes a suspicious act, I can't even imagine.
So who is this "Project 21" that's putting out this bile?  Here's what that most excellent online paper The Black Commentator had to say about them in  December 2002:  
...the white-invented, young Black Republican outfit Project 21. [Niger] Innis is a celebrity member and sits on its Advisory Committee.
The Black front group - actually, a network and nursery for aspiring rightwing operatives - is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington-based National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), which created the Project 21 letterhead in 1993. In turn, the NCPPR is funded by the Bradley, Scaife, Carthage and Earhart foundations, prime bankrollers of the American Enterprise Institute, Manhattan Institute, Heritage Foundation and a host of other, front-line think tanks of the Right. These organizations operate speakers bureaus, finance conferences, turn out position papers and disseminate propaganda in general. They create the noise.
NCPPR personnel have written some of the "position papers" ascribed to Project 21, and are proud to claim the copyright:
"Project 21 is an initiative of The National Center for Public Policy Research to promote the views of African-Americans whose entrepreneurial spirit, dedication to family and commitment to individual responsibility has not traditionally been echoed by the nation's civil rights establishment."
In truth, the National Center for Public Policy Research announced in 1992 that it was looking for "conservative and moderate voices in the black community" willing to criticize established Black leadership. CORE was among those who showed up. Project 21 was born, fully funded.
I have to ask exactly what kind of "entrepreneurial spirit" Project 21, and more importantly, their oligarch creators, want in Haiti.  Because this is what they are getting:

Meanwhile, a band of about 20 civilians and some ex-soldiers from Haiti's former army have taken up guarding Les Cayes...Dubbed the Front, the gang patrols Les Cayes' labyrinthine shantytowns and dispenses justice on the spot. It has executed at least five people accused of stealing, usually sacks of rice or sugar, said police Inspector Joseph Avril.  Police aren't investigating...Jude Silias, a 32-year-old Front member, defended the executions as the only way to maintain order in Les Cayes. Businesses needing protection have donated guns to the group, he said.
Nothing like a privatized judge, jury and executioner to demonstrate "entrepreneurial spirit."  All over a sack of rice.
