that Ariside is claiming X" rather than "CNN reports that members of the Congressional Black Caucus want an investigation"? The answer is that it gives legitimacy to the claim.

Without further evidence I have no problem accepting the response from Powell and the WH that Aristide resigned (and the more direct GOP congressman who said Aristide had a choice of leaving there on a plane or in a casket and he chose the plane). But I seriously don't understand why the question is unaskable, esp in light of the things we know our government has done to other democratically elected governments over the past several decades, under presidents of both parties.
You seemed far less concerned with the safety of our troops during the "Bring em on" discussion we had awhile back. But I understand that that was a different situation and according to you it was ok because "the troops loved it."
