Tonight on 360°, faith and hope in Haiti on the one month anniversary of the quake. Plus, new starling details about the legal team for the Americans accused of kidnapping Haitian children and the day's other headlines.

Scroll down to join the live chat during the program. It's your chance to share your thoughts on tonight's headlines. Keep in mind, you have a better chance of having your comment get past our moderators if you follow our rules.

2) Don't write in ALL CAPS (there's no need to yell)
3) Use your real name (first name only is fine)
4) No links
5) Watch your language (keep it G-rated; PG at worst - and that includes $#&*)

    Anderson, you have shown much empathy and sympathy to the plight of the Haitian people. I can imagine how hard it is for you to report it.
    May God bless and keep you safe and strong always! Thank you!

    Good evening Anderson,

    I would like to help 12 year old Kimberly who was featured on your show on Friday 2/12. I was very moved by her story and would like to offer my assistance in helping her get through this difficult time. How can I help her directly? Can you make a suggestion as to how I can directly make a contribution to her? I very much would like to contribute to her cause as she nagivates this journey.

    Who wrecked Haiti story? You have to dig deeper on who wrecked Haiti. The Duvaliers as bad as they were; are part of a long list of people and countries who abused and exploited Haiti.

    I'm sending this from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and prefer to watch your show, Anderson rather than the Olympic's Opening Ceremonies. Your coverage is stellar and I was so pleased to see how several of the children you met a month ago are doing and that you did follow up to see how they were.
    My heart aches every night when I watch the struggles within your reports and know that the challenges of Haitian homes, jobs, schooling, health care, roads and so much more will be needed for many years to come.
    Bless you for your journalistic skills in bringing this story a human face that touches all of us far away.

    @Gloria

    "money, money, money"

    It's amazing to see how people like "Baby Doc" behave and then when we saw all those Haitian people at the start of AC360 tonight!
    What a contrast!
