JAN 21: CBS NEWS REPORTS FROM HAITI

From the CBS News Daily Update:
4:01 p.m. EST: CBS News Radio's Peter King writes today about unexpectedly encountering a water truck on the edge of Port-au-Prince and visiting the city's Citie Soleil neighborhood – traditionally considered one of its poorest, but now also one of its most active as people buy and sell stolen goods.

King also takes a critical view of the international aid response to the crisis, writing, "
We see and hear the huge cargo planes landing, but we have no idea who’s running the show, nor where all of these supplies are actually going. I may be going out on a limb here, but from what I’ve seen, this operation makes Brownie’s FEMA response to Katrina look like a crowning achievement in emergency response. That’s how bad it is."
