...While camera operators and stagehands wander in and out of shots, the co-hosts of Breakfast Time, a new morning show on the fX cable network, sidle from room to room in their spacious, apartment-like set in New York City.

Earlier this month officials leaked a confidential cable that had been sent to Washington charging that Aristide and his supporters "manipulate or even fabricate human-rights abuses as a propaganda tool."
