U.S. Rules of Engagement Shift in Haiti (washingtonpost.com) 

U.S. Rules of Engagement Shift in Haiti (washingtonpost.com): "U.S. Marines sent to quell violence in Haiti have received new orders to seize guns from Haitians they encounter on patrol and to open fire, if necessary, to prevent further killings, the senior American commander in the region said yesterday."

More agressive rules of engagement are generally a good idea; just think back to Somolia and Mogadishu for an instance in which more agressive rules of engagement would have done a lot of good.
