I'm not defending the Red Cross... Probably a good thing, because AFAICT, they're pretty much indefensible at this point.

  I'm not having any problem and not feeling ashamed at all defending the Red Cross instead. If you just give poor people any money in Port au Prince after the earthquake, you simply atract predators that will beat and steal those people living in the streets easily, collecting all this money in the blink of an eye. Rich people in Haiti did not seem to care much for the bad luck of the poor people either.

  Not sure how the non profits work, but aren't there laws to force them to publish all their fundraising data and expenses data? Last week there was an article on how a cancer nonprofit raised tens of millions of dollars, only to be swindled by the family running it. They were during it for a while before getting caught.
