Where Is Jan Egeland?
Corrected.
I just did a Nexis search for the words egeland, US, pakistan and earthquake for the last week. There were 96 hits, covering about 40 separate stories. A quick scan reveals that UN aid chief Jan Egeland has not acknowledged America's breakaway leadership in raising funds for Paki and Indian earthquake victims.
He sure was fast the criticize the size of our initial contribution to tsunami releif last December. But when the US came out with an "initial" contribution of $50 million to earthquake relief and other countries hovered in the low millions, where was he?
Couldn't he have found a moment to say to the world, "Hey guys, the US is stepping up here! They've funded aboutg 20% of our 'flash appeal' solo. Where are you?"
What a jerk.
