"Baby Doc"? Alive? And not in a prison?

Did you hear or see about "Baby Doc" Duvalier landing back in Haiti this weekend?

Can you believe that?

I couldn't.

First, I thought he might have died.  And if he hadn't, then I thought surely he was in a prison somewhere.

This, after all, is the guy who, it is widely known, killed his own people, citizens of his own country, people he was supposed to be leading and taking care of, if he perceived they were his enemy:

...Papa Doc and Baby Doc ruled through terror, relying on bloodthirsty enforcers like the Tonton Macoutes, and each stole the western hemisphere's poorest nation blind. After Baby Doc and his infamously venal wife, MichÈle Bennett, were whisked out of Haiti in February of 1986 on a U.S. Air Force plane amid a seething uprising by Haitians, they settled in the south of France and lived in one of the world's most luxurious exiles. 

Now, not only is he alive, and not in prison, but he flew back into Haiti, presumably so he can lead them again??

Are you freaking kidding me?

Adding to the tragedy, ignorance and seeming insanity of all this is the fact that there were approximately 2000 people, clamoring for him to come back and rule them--paraphrasing wildly here--like "the good old days."

Are they out of their minds?

How is this murderous clown going to rebuild their homes---and the country?

Then there's this from the article:

And what's perhaps even harder to imagine is how the government of French President Nicolas Sarkozy could have allowed Duvalier, who arrived from Paris, to board an Air France flight bound for Haiti under the current circumstances. "For the French to have even permitted [Duvalier] to leave their territory amidst an electoral and cholera crisis here shows they have not much interest in the welfare of the Haitian people," says a high-ranking Haitian government official.

This is not a good turn for Haiti right now, those poor people.  Fortunately, there is some talk about him possibly being arrested and tried.

Here's hoping the right things happen down there and they get that obscene, rich, meddling old fool out of there.
