From Tanganyika to Trinidad and from towering city branches to tiny one-room shacks in the bush, the 1,340 overseas offices of Britain's biggest bank carry the same inscription: "Barclays Bank D.C.O."

His private army of Tonton Macoutes. meaning bogeymen in Creole, crushes the opposition and shakes down businessmen. The bogeymen even insist on distributing the U.S. gifts of food and taking their cut; the U.S. refuses, and so the food sits rotting in a Port-au-Prince warehouse. All development-economic, social, political-is at a standstill, while Haiti remains one of the poorest countries in the Americas...
