Charity Begins At Home. So Give Yourself A Raise, And Claim You Are Doing Good Works.

"Feed the Children" Charity Under Fire
Exclusive: CBS News Investigation into a Billion-Dollar-a-Year Charity That Solicited Aid for Haiti

The "Feed the Children" charity is being run along the lines of a government project.

The executives are fighting among themselves. The executives are siphoning off funds for their own personal use. The executives are taking credit for things that other people are doing. The executives are taking credit for things they claim they are doing, where nothing is actually being done. The executives are firing underlings who are telling the truth (whistle blowers) about the situation to investigative reporters. The majority of funding pays salaries and other expenses unrelated to the actual work for which the organization was actually created for.

You know, just the typical fraud and deception you can expect from any government organization. Except this time it is being perpetrated by a private organization.
