Hti: Investigate CBC's ties with Aristide

Go, Jesse Lee!

A conservative black pastor says the White House and the
State Department should investigate the Congressional Black Caucus's
relationship with exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
 
What do Congressional Black Caucus members have to gain by keeping
Aristide in power? asked the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Do CBC members, their
family, or friends have business interests in Haiti, he wondered.
 
"These questions must be answered. We need to get to the truth about what
has been going on," said Peterson, who heads a group called Brotherhood
Organization of a New Destiny. (Peterson, who supports various
conservative causes, is out with a new book called SCAM: How the Black Leadership
Exploits Black America.)
 
Peterson said he finds it "disturbing" that the Congressional Black
Caucus is backing "a corrupt and brutal man like Aristide."
If Rev. Peterson follows the money, he'll have the answer to his question.
