U.S. Guns in Haiti despite embargo

Ain't this just peachy?

The United States has quietly given thousands of guns to the Haitian National Police and is moving to approve the sale of thousands more despite a 14-year arms embargo and allegations the force is corrupt, brutal and responsible for unjustified killings, U.S., U.N. and Haitian officials said this week.

...

Police officials also have been linked to Colombian cocaine smuggling, since Haiti in recent years has become a major transit point for drugs destined for the United States.

I can only imagine what the U.S. would do if some other country was breaking an embargo, giving guns to someone the U.S. disapproves of.
