jazzgal said: I read something somewhere that, even though the Dutch Marines were on island, the Prime Minister hadn't signed some sort of order/direction to the Marines to stop the looting. It was several days before that was done so looting occurred unabated until the order was signed. Then the Marines stepped in and brought order. I may not have it exactly right, but it was something like this. My understanding is that the Dutch Marines required a signed "state of emergency" declaration from the PM to assume control. This was not done until something like Saturday, so they had no authority for security action until then.
