An unusual memorial service in Haiti. If the dead man, father Antoine Adrien had even limited power, as the Haitians always contend, sure would he repeatedly slap pre-historic totalitarian dictator Jean-Bertrand Aristide for lying to the Haitian people, and extremely so - May 23, 2003


Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, center, and his wife Mildred Aristide, to his left, pause before the open coffin of Holy Ghost Father Father Father Antoine Adrien, who died at the age of 81 on May 12, as Prime Minister Yvon Neptune, to Aristide's right, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Philippe Antonio, behind him, approach during a memorial service held for him in the yard of the Petit Seminaire College Saint Martial school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Friday, May 23, 2003. Adrien, whoplayed a key role in Haiti's movement for democracy, was sent into exile in 1969 by dictator Francois Duvalier with the entire Holy Ghost congregation. From 1971 until 1986, he worked to defend the rights of Haitians in the US before returning to Haiti when the Duvalier regime fell. Adrien was a close advisor of Aristide's during the ex-priest's rise to popularity, the presidency, and during the three-year coup d'etat (1991-1994). (AP Photo/Daniel Morel)
