Toys for Iraq: Shipping Rip-off Update

By Joe Katzman on August 6, 2004 2:08 PM | 2 Comments

The latest updates concerning the Atlanta shipping company that ripped off the Toys for Iraq charity for $30,000 are up over at Chief Wiggles' blog. Atlanta Good Samaritan Reid "Photodude" Stott has the full rundown on what happened. Here is what the team at Operation Give are doing about it, and here is the status as of Thursday.

UPDATE: Via new team member Simon's Friday linkfest, we learn that Operation Shoefly is also being affected by Atlas Lines' greed. Operation Shoefly brings shoes to children in Afghanistan.

IANAL: This is becoming some kind of odd meme, as this is the third site to say this about me. Let's Squash It: I Am Not A Lawyer, have never attended law school, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I just tried to help...

Oops, sorry Reid. I had picked that up from the other sites. Will correct immediately.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
