Here's the only new report quite like what you say, Don.

Aristide Tells U.S. Contacts He Was Abducted

The AP and other reports I can find are much more circumspect.   

"Ken Robinson, CNN national security analyst, said the claims are dubious.

'When he (Aristide) landed in the Central African Republic, he addressed the nation on radio and he made no mention of this,' Robinson said. 'And now all of a sudden he's making late calls in this regard. I think it's pretty specious.'"

If anything, the Administration's pretty consistent in denying anything kidnapping. Aristide had asked to go to the US and maybe a bit upset at finding himself in the Central African Republic instead.
