He dismissed the accounts from camp leaders as "hearsay" that reflected "the overall fear and anger in these camps after nearly seven months of hardship and fear."

People have been noticing that Wyclef Jean has collected lots of money for charity, but done very little (or no) actual charity and we see no verifiable evidence of his charity helping anyone.

The money?
Sounds like he decided he needed to become government now ...

My question?
What are the other choices, because someone else has got to be better.

Why has the media buried this story for so long? Wyclef Jean and his Yele Foundation brazenly STOLE millions of dollars of aid intended for Haiti's earthquake victims and no one has said peep about it.
