AND MORE ON HAITI: The Christian Science Monitor runs a piece on lessons learned from our last involvement in nation-building in Haiti. VOA reports another wave of anarchy and looting is breaking out in Port-au-Prince, and the Globe cites diplomatic sources who say that this court case about Aristide's involvement in a drug-trafficking ring gave the U.S. greater leverage on Aristide in encouraging him to leave the country. Mr Aristide, for his part, is in the Central African Republic, where he continues to seek asylum in South Africa. Both rebel and U.S. forces are in Port-au-Prince at the moment, with both apparently receiving cordial welcomes from the city's residents. A contingent of French forces is moving to secure French diplomatic sites, while a U.S. detachment has established a security perimeter at the airport. Other French and American contingents are securing a number of other sites of interest around the capital. Apparently both marines and rebels are currently to be found at the moment in the vicity of the National Palace and the surrounding park, but they are said not to be interacting with one another.
