Johns Hopkins criticism of Cyclone Nargis relief in Burma.

I believe the Johns Hopkins report.

NGOs have an axe to grind. They need to go in and out and get the co-operation of the junta.

Instead of denying the report, they should aim to prevent abuses and provide safeguards and a witnessing presence.

I left a copy of this note on The Irrawaddy comment site.
