Bush Administration fails again: U.S. Poorly Handled Katrina Aid from Other Nations

Federal auditors say mistakes, omissions and bureaucracy resulted in a huge loss in cash donations from 36 countries to victims of Hurricane Katrina. The Government Accountability Office says because the U.S. does not typically receive aid, it does not have a plan or policy in place to receive donations. Legal restrictions required almost half of the $126 million in cash to be placed in non-interest-bearing accounts. Associated Press, The Advocate 04/06/2006 Read Article: The Advocate
