Here are some notes and thoughts about Secretary of State Clinton's trip to Haiti since I was there and saw it. What I observed may answer some of your questions:

Early Saturday morning Secretary of State Clinton flew from Andrews Air Force Base to Puerto Rico where the US Coast Guard base in Puerto Rico is part of our nation's emergency response to the crisis in Haiti. The Coast Guard base in Puerto Rico is flying C-130's from Puerto Rico to Haiti. The C130's are carrying supplies into Haiti and picking up passengers in Haiti to bring them back to Puerto Rico (eg evacuation of Americans who have been living in Haiti.)

Upon arrival in Puerto Rico, Secretary of State Clinton "hitched" a ride on a C130 to Haiti that was carrying supplies. The C 130 is a military plane which is anything but luxurious - the seats are uncomfortable, and it is incredibly loud (like the military, the Secretary wore earplugs on the flight.) She could have flown on the Secretary of State plane -- but she did not want to take up space on the tarmac from supply flights and thus elected to go on a plane (C130) that was already scheduled to fly into Haiti.

Members of the media flew ONE WAY with Secretary of State Clinton -- paying the government for seats, of course, as we always do. When making the arrangements to go to Haiti, however, the State Department informed us in the media that we could ONLY have a seat ONE WAY. We would have to figure out how to get out of Haiti ourselves.
