FEMA Directing Donations to Rev. Pat Robertson
It was bound to happen ... faith-based hurricane relief. "Operation Blessing" is a "charity" (at least according to it's corporate charter) whose board is dominated by the Robertson family personally, and which has been investigated several times in the past, both for outright fraud and for stealth evangelism - using the cover of disaster/poor relief to do religious work.
FEMA has released to the media and on its Web site a list of suggested charities to help the storm’s hundreds of thousands of victims. The Red Cross is first on the list. The Rev. Pat Robertson’s “Operation Blessing” is next on the list.
