ARISTIDE KIDNAPPED!!!
Multiple sources that just spoke with Haitian President Jean-Bertrand 
Aristide told Democracy Now! that Aristide says he was "kidnapped" and 
taken by force to the Central African Republic. Congressmember Maxine 
Waters said she received a call from Aristide at 9am EST. "He's surrounded 
by military. It's like he is in jail, he said. He says he was kidnapped," 
said Waters. She said he had been threatened by what he called US 
diplomats. According to Waters, the diplomats reportedly told the Haitian 
president that if he did not leave Haiti, paramilitary leader Guy Philippe 
would storm the palace and Aristide would be killed. According to Waters, 
Aristide was told by the US that they were withdrawing Aristide's US 
security. 
TransAfrica founder and close Aristide family friend Randall Robinson also 
received a call from the Haitian president early this morning and 
confirmed Waters account. Robinson said that Aristide "emphatically" 
denied that he had resigned. "He did not resign," he said. "He was 
abducted by the United States in the commission of a coup." Robinson says 
he spoke to Aristide on a cell phone that was smuggled to the Haitian 
president.
