From earthquakes to 9/11

Posted Monday September 4, 2006, 1:06 am, Over one day old

My opinion on your money being siphoned off to Hamas or to 'terror cells' is simple: Giving money to international aid is always risky. Not all the money will get there, you can be certain of that. Not all of it will go where you'd expect it to go - you can be almost as certain of that.
