U.S. calls Haitian coup “orderly and constitutional”
In a breathtaking display of hypocrisy even by the brazen standards of American politics, U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher has called on Haitian rebels to lay down their arms.
“There is an orderly and constitutional political process under way in Haiti,” Boucher said, apparently hoping we will not notice that an armed coup against an elected leader is at odds with constitutional process.
