Playing the Palace
I would love to know how the US military thought this picture would play (in Haiti -- after the first rush; domestically; abroad) in landing American troops at the Haitian Presidential Palace. Was it all gung-ho, or was there an upside/downside consideration?
Notice, in the first report in the NYT, by the way, how Army Col. Gregory Kane is having to "take pains ... to reassure Haitians that the United States was not invading."
