Bush’s outsourced brain
Naomi Klein writes about the ways in which NGOs are being bribed and bullied into toeing the US government line…with the help of its own pet NGOs.
On 21 May, Andrew Natsios, the head of USAid told NGOs that as “an arm of the US government” they had to make it clear that the aid they were doling out was a result of US foreign policy.
Clearly, there’s some alternate interpretation of ‘non-governmental’ that currently escapes me.
