I personally don't care who's running the airport. I'm not there, don't know anyone there, didn't make any babies there, don't care who controls the country when it's all over. I'm just posting news that is out there opposite to what is playing on US TV. There is another side to the story, that's all.
Common sense would say the Haitians would control the airport as they always have. Or the UN. Though, handing it over to the US Military is a little odd I must agree, even given the current circumstances. The US Military has a bad habit of not giving control back once they take it.

If the UN moved a little faster maybe the US wouldn't need to step in. I am not a huge fan of the US going in places by force, but I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt, especially in an instance like this where the Haitian Govt is in no shape to control anything. I think it was more out of necessity than anything else.
The Americans have the man-power and ability to maintain security around the airport. Security is something that will be very much needed in the coming weeks, especially with all the supplies sitting around there waiting to move.
