A group of international academics and authors has written to French president Nicolas Sarkozy calling on France to reimburse the crushing "independence debt" it imposed on Haiti nearly 200 years ago. The open letter to the French president says the debt, now worth nearly $21. 7 billion, would cover the rebuilding of the country after a devastating earthquake that killed more than 250,000 people seven months ago.

independence debt? wt? yet another contradiction in terms. What makes no sense is Haiti won that war, seems they should have dictated terms.
