The reporter is not on the staff of the NYT.

The NYT is (gasp) outsourcing?!

That's why I recommended it.

And is definitely a good reason to read it :)

CORRECTION - I WAS WRONG:

Barry Bearak is a reporter for The Times and a visiting professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

It's still a well-written, riveting read.

From the article:
Within the week, aid workers from abroad began arriving by the hundreds to assist Indonesian emergency teams; foreign militaries were permitted to airlift supplies. Within months, more than 120 foreign NGO's would set up operations. For most of them, money was no object. Generosity toward the tsunami victims was unprecedented, "breaking all records for voluntary giving," according to the World Bank. Some $5.5 billion flowed into the Red Cross and Red Crescent federation, Oxfam, World Vision, CARE and other charities. Governments added more. In total, about $13.6 billion was pledged toward the recovery in grants and loans, with about half going to Indonesia.

No mention of the overwhelming predominance of American aid. Especially the carrier group that saved the lives of thousands.
