The truth seems to be that Lucy Komisar was paid by the Haiti Democracy Project (HDP) to continue this “investigation.” The only smoking gun she continues to push like so much scandalous crack ( pandering to people’s guillibility and baser instincts) is a disgruntled employee with everyone else scratching their heads. Her masters at HDP know there’s nothing more to it but have a pathological hatred towards Aristide. Remember Timothy Carney was a founding member of HDP and he’s now been rewarded for his role in Haiti by being named the chief of reconstruction projects by the Bush administration in Iraq.

For a great interview and opposing POV on the HDP/Komisar connection pleae listen to :

I’m still waiting for Lucy to deny that she’s been paid by the HDP. Following her denial, we get down to the real issues behind her persistence on this issue, James Morrell notwithstanding.

LK: The initial report on the Aristide kickbacks was commissioned by the Haiti Democracy Project, and it says so at the top of the report.

The evidence documented there (and linked) is based on far more than the report of a former employee of one of the companies that paid kickbacks.

Timothy Carney is a former ambassador to Haiti, which he why he got the reconstruction task.

KPFA agreed to give me equal time. I asked to appear together with Ira Kurzban, who was featured on the cited broadcast, but was offered only a solo slot. He did not agreed to a format in which his statements could be challenged. Then the offer of equal time was withdrawn, so I have never had an opportunity to challenge the attacks on me. So much for fair-minded media.

The real issue is that I, for ten years, have investigated corruption enabled by the offshore system. The Aristide-Teleco case fits the bill.

I believe that the story of Michael Jewett may carry a lot of truth. I was also expelled from the same department as Michael Jewett. David Schropfer was also my manager and he also left IDT in a way I never understood and a few months after, that division was closed and some of us were expelled. I have since gone for a legal suit against IDT in South Africa. My case is also still pending for more than a year now because IDT is delaying my dismissal case, they have been dragging and kind of not willing to go for pretrial talks.

Bravo! This is just one more way to tarnish the image of the people’s president. This attempt on the credibility of our president is absurd. This so-called find is just another copy of a novel from Hollywood.

i do not know who you are but i think that THEY have payed you a good amount of money to publish such garbage. In reality I know your motives; but I want to ask you why? Why?

Many more things I wanted to say to you, but another time certainly.
