Yahoo! News - Red Cross Raises Enough in Tsunami Relief

What an incredible outpouring of money for tsunami aid efforts! Enough $ raised worldwide in 30 days to support the relief effort for 10 years. And this does not count the donations to hundreds of other charities.

Now, the leaders of the International Red Cross must be held accountable for how this money is spent. With this much largesse, there is always a temptation for corruption and theft. Who will do this? This would be a great task for the world's major news organizations.
