...into his campaign chest, he had six donors cover the tab. Too clever, says Steve Forbes' team, which charges that the end run is a violation of campaign laws that prohibit individuals from giving more than $1,000 to a candidate.

The report points out that 4% of Haiti's population still owns 66% of the country's resources, and annual income averages $250 per person, compared with $3,320 for the rest of the Caribbean and Latin America. Drug traffickers have also targeted Haiti. DEA officials believe as much...
