[0:02] Supporters of President Arist take to
[0:04] the streets in Haiti. And after a flood
[0:07] of leaks, it's the media on trial now in
[0:09] the OJ Simpson case.
[0:12] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:19] and this is Bob Schaefer reporting. Good
[0:21] evening. Thousands of Haitians flooded
[0:23] into the streets of Porter Prince today.
[0:25] It was the biggest demonstration of
[0:27] support for John Bertrand Eriststeed
[0:29] since the military toppled him from
[0:30] power 3 years ago. It was also the first
[0:33] real sign that support seems to be
[0:35] increasing for the man the United States
[0:37] is trying to restore to power. It came

[0:47] The boys in their Bradleys continued

[0:56] power has not taken place in the palace
[0:58] yet. It is taking place in the streets.

[1:04] like icons as people sang new words to
[1:07] an old song.
[1:11] Cedris is not in the army. They sang.
[1:13] Cedric will be in handcuffs. Americans
[1:16] may have made a deal with the leader of
[1:18] the illegal government here. Haitians
[1:20] have not dealt with him yet. Crowd
[1:22] control at the port today was being
[1:24] managed not by the Haitian police, but
[1:26] by a Haitian American of the 10th
[1:28] Mountain Division. He spoke their
[1:30] language. He represented their
[1:32] aspirations. Every convoy, every piece
[1:35] of equipment was cheered as an
[1:37] instrument of liberation. But the
[1:39] loudest applause was reserved for th
