Assistant Secretary of State Roger F. Noriega testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday, March 2, 2004 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Haiti. Speaking of current leader Guy Philippe, Noriega said 'He is not in control of anything but a ragtag band of people.' The buildup of the international presence in Haiti will make Philippe's role 'less and less central in Haitian life. And i think he will probably want to make himself scarce.' (AP Photo/Stephen J.
