Meanwhile, a new puppet "President" was hoisted upon Haiti on the points of U.S. bayonets. Boniface Alexandre, the supreme court chief, was sworn in behind closed doors at the Presidential Palace under heavy U.S. guard. The "inauguration" took place with U.S. helicopters flying above the Palace. Pacifica Radio's Amy Goodman interviewed President Aristide on Monday morning, and Aristide called upon Haitians to "peacefully resist the U.S. occupation." He repeated that he had been kidnapped by U.S. forces, was still the legal President, and that he had not resigned.
