  I don't think Sir Attenborough is saying anything that disagrees with the Gates letter. He singled out one form of aid - direct food - as harmful. Not all aid is helpful. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_aid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_aid Gates letter's point was that just because there are forms of aid that are harmful, does not mean all aid is harmful.
