redcross putting steroid users in same catagory as HIV and AIDS

[Dr. Noe]

The Red Cross is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. It's true, like it or not. They have been prosecuted for corruption more then once. According to Richard M. Walden (president and CEO of Operation USA), it is estimated that 70% of the $1.2 Billion donated to Katrina-related donations went to the Red Cross, yet the Red Cross is fully reimbursed by the government for any shelters or emergency services they provide. Repeatedly, the Red Cross has run into trouble for spending much less on disaster recovery than they collect, shuffling the extra funds into their "national disaster account," where it can be used for purposes other than that it was collected for. That's the sort of trouble they saw in the aftermath of the 1989 San Francisco Bay Area earthquake, and after 9/11. Media complaints and Congrssional outcry was a major factor in the head of the red cross resigning.

There is a degree of corruption in every large organization, i.e. US Govt., Catholic Church, HGR for Hunger, etc
and the larger the organization the greater the degree
