...public was surprised by Friday's overture, policymakers were not. The junta, while publicly professing defiance, had been putting out feelers about leaving for at least two months. All their offers bore conditions unacceptable to the U.S.: that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide not be allowed back, that Jonnaissant, Cedras' 80-year-old puppet president, stay in office, that only one or two of the Cedras-Biamby-Francois trio leave...

...common theme was that the Haitian leaders wanted to leave with "dignity." Another key ingredient was Carter, whom Cedras had come to know under what would seem like unpromising circumstances: the former President was one of the international monitors observing the 1990 Haitian elections that Cedras' eventual foe Jean- Bertrand Aristide won with almost 70% of the vote in the only genuinely free balloting Haiti has ever known. If the dictators were going to bail out, they wanted to say yes to a respected statesman...

With Haiti as the White House crisis du jour, Administration officials have been unhappily juggling some hot potatoes lobbed into the Justice Department by federal drug informants -- namely, a series of uncorroborated but sensational allegations that Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's erstwhile President, took hundreds of thousands of dollars in look-the-other-way money from Colombian drug cartels while in office.

...used to spending long hours of exile alone in his small apartment, playing the guitar, taping weekly radio speeches and talking on the phone to faraway friends, life changed abruptly last week. From the moment Bill Clinton finally decided to restore him to power, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the duly elected President of Haiti, found himself bustling about the heady business of a chief of state. He has been told to be ready to fly home within days of the U.S. takeover...

Exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide said he would encourage supporters in his country's Parliament to go along with an amnesty vote pardoning Haiti's military junta and their police "attaches." Whether he likes it or not, that's a major concession U.S. officials agreed to in former President Jimmy Carter's deal with the dictators last Sunday. Aristide made his stand clear in a meeting with three U.S. Senators -- including one of the Carter team, Georgia Democrat Senator Sam Nunn -- and said he would return to Haiti as soon as U.S. forces there say it's safe...
