Governments of rich countries spend some $6bn of tax money a year on disaster relief and development aid overseas, while each new earthquake, famine or tidal wave can attract 1,000 aid organisations, from the United Nations Children's Fund and Oxfam to the 'Jesus Brigades' of the American south and other charitable adventurers. -- James Buchan
Think about it: if you were running a multi-million dollar company, and your database of customer information was stolen, would you want to tell your clients?
