The Red Cross
Seeing Red

I'm surprised "Charities" is not a category on this report.

Recent news show strong congressional criticism of Red Cross on how they used the money people contributed for the 9/11 WTC disaster. If you contributed, and you thought your money would go towards the victim's families and/or rescue efforts, think again.

Red Cross used a large part of these contributions for its own overhead costs and "reserves for future disasters".

I am more surprised at how my father, a WWII veteran, was NOT surprised about this. To this day he, and others from his battalion, hold a sour grudge against this organization. Why?
Because while stationed in Belgium fighting the Bulge, the Red Cross would charge them for food and other services!
