Fishermen gathered eagerly at a rickety wooden pier to welcome a boat carrying Haiti's most divisive and provocative political candidate. Philippe is reviled by some Haitians as a leader of the 2004 rebellion that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. "He's like a father for this area," said Christin Pierre Louis, who was among those welcoming Philippe to the village. The fugitive candidate, who looks much younger than his 48 years, allowed Associated Press journalists to spend a day with him in his Pestel stronghold. A fugitive poster from the DEA said he is wanted on charges including conspiracy to import cocaine into the U.S.
