National Security Agency Spied on Former Haitian Leader Aristide

Fallout from Edward Snowden's release of National Security Agency (NSA) files continues. Ira Kurzban, a Miami Attorney, revealed classified material from the Clinton administration, now available, showed in a 1994 file the NSA had been listening in on former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's phone calls.

Kurzban said the media considered hijacking Aristide's conversations to ". . . violate the U.N. charter and international law . . ." Public knowledge at the time; it did not change the government's behavior.
