The kidnapping accusation also was reported Monday by the office of Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, and Aristide's attorney, Ira Kurzman. Waters' office said she also had spoken with Aristide by phone and Kurzman said the story originated with groundskeepers and housekeepers at Aristide's Haiti home...."
