166: Monica Crowley's Stilettos

Schweitzer Hospital, Humanitarian Aid, Embedded Journalists

Listeners are encouraged to donate to the Schweitzer Hospital located 80 miles north of Port-au-Prince, which is managed by a husband-and-wife team and currently overwhelmed by casualties. The hosts contrast this direct aid with the "lottery" system used by the DHS and DOD to fly embedded journalists into the country. They warn that large aid organizations often consume funds through overhead rather than direct relief.
