Thank the Lord we got " W "

Based on information that I've heard on NPR, the American Red Cross is taking a lot of heat lately.

This includes a few hours of answers & questions in front of the U. S. Senate.

Seems the rumours are true. The Red Cross has no intention of distributing the money earmarked for WTC and Pentagon Disaster Relief in full. They are talking about distributing some of the funds and then keeping the remainder for "Future requirements".

Excuse me.............. But I was under the clear impression that the money that was sent to the Red Cross was intended for the immediate needs of those who suffered from the events of September 11. It seems to me, therefore, that all funds collected should be distributed.

As I've said above in previous posts, I don't have a lot of faith in the Red Cross. Frankly, I think they tend toward serving their own interests, rather than the interests of those for whom the contributions were intended.

My father never had much faith in the American Red Cross during WWII and his anecdotal evidence, not worth repeating here, is quite intimidating.

From what I am hearing lately, they have not changed much in the past 50 years.
