Haiti Debates U S Role in Haiti Mission and Funding
U S officials including Talbott Deutch and Gen Sheehan described the Haiti mission as creating a secure environment for democracy not policing.

Congressional critics press for a timing of U S troop presence and accuse the White House of acting without Congress.
