Coup plotter, money launderer Guy Philippe to be freed from U.S. prison, deported to Haiti (Miami Herald)

Nevertheless, Philippe’s pending return to his volatile homeland is raising questions about U.S. policy regarding Haiti and even has former U.S. diplomats who served in the country and are aware of Philippe’s controversial reputation baffled.

“I’m not close enough to the situation to comment on the facts, but this does seem a particularly bad time to add gasoline to a raging fire,” said Jim Foley, a retired diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Haiti between 2003 and 2005 during which time Philippe led a bloody coup against the then-sitting president, Jean Bertrand Aristide.
