EXCERPT OF TRANSCRIPT:

Amy Goodman: Harry Fouche, as the Consul General of the Haitian government in New York, do you still recognize the authority of President Jean Bertrand Aristide?

Harry Fouche: Well, let me put it you to this way - Yvon Neptune is still the prime minister. Yvon Neptune was chosen by President Aristide.

Amy Goodman: Does that mean that Jean Bertrand Aristide is the President?

Harry Fouche: Yes, for practical purposes.

...

Amy Goodman: Let me end with Harry Fouche, the Consul General of Haiti in New York. Are you afraid for your country?

Harry Fouche: Well certainly. Everything that you have heard described, you know, brings fear to us, and also brings terror to the country, so we are hoping common sense and a sense of justice and a sense of fairness will prevail, so actions will be taken quickly to remove these sinister characters from positions of - that they are occupying now, where they are terrorizing the country.
