Also, her statement: "This is because the minute that a U.S. sergeant shoots a voodoo rebel building, a barricade of corpses or a member of the Cannibal Army intent on eating that barricade, then angry protesters shouting “Down with the U.S. colonizers!” is all but certain in the streets."

Are her views of the Haitians similar to Pat Robertson or am I missing something here?

Oh, I thought she was speaking metaphorically. I confess I'm not familiar with her other writings. But, surely she doesn't think the Cannibal Army eats people and the resistance forces practice voodoo. If she does, I put my foot in my mouth-- and no, I don't mean to eat it.
