>* Defying Washington: Haiti's Aristide Returns to the Caribbean *
>
>Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide has just touched down in 
>the Caribbean nation of Barbados, as he makes his way toward 
>Jamaica. Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman is with Aristide, his 
>Haitian-American wife Mildred, and the delegation of US and Jamaican 
>officials that is accompanying the Aristides to Jamaica, which has 
>offered to temporarily host them. Goodman is one of only two 
>journalists traveling with Aristide. She said they believe the group 
>will arrive in Jamaica at approximately 12 pm EST today.
>
>In returning to the Caribbean, Aristide is defying the Bush 
>administration, which has stated clearly it does not want Aristide 
>in the Western Hemisphere. 
>
>Goodman has been traveling with the Aristides and the US/Jamaican 
>delegation on the chartered Gulfstream jet that is returning 
>Aristide to the Caribbean. The delegation includes Rep. Maxine 
>Waters, TransAfrica founder and close friend of the Aristides, 
>Randall Robinson, Sharon Hay-Webster, an emissary of the Jamaican 
>prime minister, as well as Aristide's Miami-based lawyer, Ira 
>Kurzban. Washington Post reporter Peter Eisner is also with the 
>group. Over the past 48 hours, Amy has filed regular reports from 
>each stop of the journey.
