[0:03] With American troops on patrol, more

[0:05] questions about the US mission in Haiti

[0:07] and Operation Gatekeeper, a new

[0:10] high-tech effort to block illegal

[0:12] immigration into California.

[0:15] This is the CBS Evening News.

[0:22] And good evening. I'm Deborah Norville

[0:23] reporting. More than a thousand US

[0:25] Marines pulled out of Haiti today as

[0:27] expected. American military continue

[0:30] patrolling for weapons, though it's

[0:32] believed they're seizing only a fraction

[0:33] of what's actually there. Meantime,

[0:36] questions continue about the US mission

[1:12] for the Americans could be to disarm or

[1:14] take out the paramilitary members of

[1:16] FRAP, the right-wing organization

[1:19] responsible for the worst atrocities.

[1:22] This is the FRAP headquarters in Porto

[1:23] Prince. It's where last Friday's terror

[1:25] came from. But today, it looks more like

[1:28] a social club than anything else. And if

[1:30] US troops attack the place, as many here

[1:32] expect them to, it's unlikely that
