Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California is calling for the Bush administration to explain why it sent over some 2,600 weapons to Haiti to supply the country’s national police in violation of a 13-year-old arms embargo. The State Department admitted last week the shipment of arms that included M-14 rifles and sub-machine guns. Waters specifically questioned the role of John Bolton in the arms shipment. At the time Bolton was serving as the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. Human rights groups have expressed serious concern over the reports of summary executions and arbitrary arrests carried out by the Haitian police.
