While affinities are not readily apparent between the 19th century master draftsman Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and the feisty 20th century rebel Pablo Picasso, the two artists had much in common.

The turncoat militia--the Artibonite Resistance Front, formerly known as Aristide's loyal Cannibal Army--is hardly the first foreign military force to get its hands on a stockpile of U.S. weapons.
