Ms. Jolie is finally realizing what it's like in the real world and why money never gets to where it's supposed to go in Third World Countries. That being said, I admire her for putting her money, time and reputation on the line for what she believes in. I hope she learns from this and let's the rest of her buddies know that things are never the way they appear.

Duped again are they?

Dedication to a cause isn't always admirable. Sometimes it's stupid...or even downright eveil.

Not saying she's either of those, though she may be. Just pointing out that supporting a cause isn't always admirable.

Exactly, We here at FR do not consider the misappropriation of funds by these countries as news. The reason for the horrible poverty and suffering in these countries is because of the evil in their governments.

It as about time these people get their heads out of the sand and wake up in reality.

"...recover the hundreds of thousands of dollars..."

Welcome to the club Angie. Hell, I'd like to recover the Trillions spent globally on the war on poverty and hunger. Got any suggestions?

Give a turd world a few million $'s and they'll pay a few 'extras' to look grateful on camera. Meanwhile the warlords a moving to better palaces.

I respect her for your time, money, and effort. She does put her money where her mouth is in these matters but,

She needs to learn that with 3rd world countries, just like with Africa, the problem isn't money. Its the culture and leadership. Untill those approve, no matter how much money you throw at the problem, it will all just end up in corrupt people's pockets.

I'm anything but a fan, but good for her.

Typically, celebrity charity efforts are transparent efforts at public relations and/or making them feel good about themselves. Actually expecting the money to be put to good use is normally WAY down on the celebrity priority list.

Think they'll figure out it isn't all America's fault?

Nah

How dare they do this to what's his name's daughter?

Stupid is as stupid does.

I like Angie. To quote her "I'm paid a ridiculous amount of money for what I do". This was to explain why she gives one third of her salary to charity.
