"The problem is, some people are perhaps not ready to release their stuff to the most efficient transportation makers and want to deliver supplies themselves."

Correct me if I'm misreading this, but they way I interpret it, it means that the organizations that do have supplies to be delivered don't want them delivered unless they are right there to get the credit and recognition.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

I think you’re wrong. I think it means they want to be sure the supplies they have aren’t commandeered by bandits. I heard one reporter in Haiti this morning describe just that happening after a helicopter drop he witnessed. It was immediate.

Sorry - you are correct - according to some reports on Fox. Orgs needing credit (like Word Vision), diplomatic efforts etc are all clogging up the relief efforts as well as the only airport. Apparently the sea ports are in ruins as well.
