A concerned Secretary Clinton returned from warm Hawaii to chilly Washington this morning (as seen above at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland) after canceling the rest of her Pacific trip to deal with the devastation from the Haiti earthquake. Before leaving Hawaii, she said:
[W]e are facing a disaster of as yet unknown magnitude. And the problems that we're going to confront over the next days in particular as we try to launch successful search-and-rescue missions, followed up by the immediate pressing need for food and water in particular, are just of unimaginable extent.
