I'll include it here, as I keep saying, for posterity. Careful if you don't have a strong stomach.

Broussard also says that he was glad to see Duvalier on the flight yesterday, and feels the former president had been unfairly portrayed.

“All that stuff about Duvalier, I think is bad publicity,” he says. “Duvalier was the first ex-president to give money to Leogane, which is where his mother is from, after the earthquake.”

Asindor agrees that most of what the foreign media and organizations have said about Duvalier is not true. He spent the night of January 13, 2010, the day after the devastating earthquake, sleeping under the shade of a small tree in the camp in Tabarre, and has been living there ever since. He feels that Duvalier will be the one to provide homes and jobs for people like him.

“This is not about Duvalier, foreigners just try to paint a bad image about anything to do with Haiti,” he says. “All these things about the Tonton Macoutes, it is a misunderstanding. They would only come if you did something bad. They were like the national security, they always kept the country peaceful.”

Yeah, I know, but it's out there so I thought it needed to be included here. Besides, who knows which narrative will "win" so we might as well know what might come.
