...days after addressing the United Nations General Assembly last week, Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide sat down in his New York hotel room with TIME's Amy Wilentz, author of The Rainy Season: Haiti Since Duvalier. In his first interview in print since the U.S. went into Haiti, the returning leader talked candidly about Haitian justice, the U.S. role in his country and his hopes for the future...

The anonymous victims must be remembered along with the better known ones because they too died so that the country can live.

...other thing Constant was: a U.S. intelligence source. Officials in Washington confirm that he was on the payroll of the American CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, apparently from some time shortly after the coup that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991 until last spring. So Constant was getting American money when he helped the Haitian army organize FRAPH in the summer of 1993, and also a year ago when FRAPH staged a fake riot that caused the U.S.S. Harlan County to turn back from Port-au-Prince without landing any of the U.S. military personnel aboard. That...
