...staff of Haitian army commander Raoul Cedras drafted a ''letter of reconciliation'' to be presented to the U.S. What was offered, TIME has learned, contravened the key elements of the Governors Island accord signed in July -- the agreement that called for Cedras and Police Chief Michel Francois to resign. Aristide could return, the note proposed, but Cedras and Francois would remain in their posts, responsible only to an ''independent'' Prime Minister they had every intention of controlling. Aristide, it was clear, would be a political cripple. The letter was never sent. On Friday afternoon, when U.S. envoy Lawrence Pezzullo...

...expected change, I knew I had to devise yet another strategy to circumvent the FAA, to find a way to offer my concerns about safety and security directly to the public. I had to resign, even though it meant leaving the airport-security report behind and unprotected. The dot was adrift, blown wherever the winds of a media event or crisis carried it. The Secretary offered no leadership, no knowledge or understanding, no accountability. The administrator of the FAA was a figurehead. Neither of them heeded NTSB recommendations; neither followed through on the many reports detailing safety problems...
