Looks more like Hugo's bought himself a congressman. When clinton installed Aristide, the Kennedys got control of Haitian telecom. A friend from Barbados told me much the same happened there. Lating America and the Caribbean are going to get more and more "interesting." Chavez is building himself an extraordinary powerbase, while in return, the mob has cocaine and the Dems have the rest...oil, telecom, shipping.
