-led coup of aristide.i remember this well, because at the time, and this was written about in a book, it's in the text and my name is in this particular chapter because randall knew, i had been talking to randall on the phone. i was in miami about to board a private plane to go to haiti to interview president aristide at the presidential palace. he'd been -- granted me an interview because all of this stuff was about to go down. aristide grants me an interview i'm about to hop on this plane to head to haiti, port-au-prince to interview him and i got a phone call a message from secretary of state colin powell that that might not be a good idea. i knew secretary powell and, you know, these are my words. he was at least concerned enough or kind enough to let me know, tavis this is not where want to be right now because something's about to get down. no heads up on what wa about to go down, just from mr. powell's office, tavis, don't do this. the plane never took off. i never left. i'm watching cnn a few minut
