as for the CNN link, may I ask you to link me to the results of these questions, and if any actual action came against Red Cross for this? I'd be interested in reading up on it more.
That would take time. This is old news. The only think I'm certain of is Healy resigning, but so many links are now broken.
And the opinion section is usually for articles that include opinions about facts, but almost always mention the facts (in fact almost all news we listen to today belongs in the opinion section), and of course the opinion article was referencing the facts stated in the CNN article.
Now for a few things I found after a few google search (since... its been a long time).
"In addition, some nonprofit fund-raisers were restive about Dr. Healy's muscular fund-raising, saying she had taken advantage of the attacks to increase donations to her charity at the expense of all others. "

"Bernadine Healy resigned in 2001 amid accusations about the mishandling of donations for 9/11 victims; Martha J. Evans stepped down in 2005 after the Red Cross' response to Hurricane Katrina was deemed inadequate -- yet another leader has made a scandalous departure. "

I could look a little further into it for more information, but all I honestly know is that she resigned and nothing else was done as far as I know.
And this is why I am highly skeptical of charities.
