198: Things Could Get Complicated
Sean Penn Criticizes Red Cross Operations in Haiti
Actor Sean Penn, managing a refugee camp in Port-au-Prince, criticizes the bureaucracy of international aid agencies and the American Red Cross. Penn claims the Red Cross has been out of the medical field for 50 years and is primarily a money-collection operation. He warns that without immediate spending on the Haitian people, the country will become a wasteland despite long-term rebuilding plans.
