Opposition politicians were weighing the plan, after being persuaded by Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) to delay their formal response to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Rebel leader Guy Philippe, still in the second-largest city of Cap-Haitien that was seized Sunday, said in an interview with the AP that his movement wants to re-establish the army but is not interested in installing another dictatorship in Haiti.
