Another One Bites the Dust

Greg Mortenson and the Central Asia Institute are now on the chopping block. They will never recover from the 60 Minutes expose. What's worse, the non-profit community will be slow to recover, if what Mortenson has been accused of is true. Sadly, the girls and young women of Afghanistan will suffer, the very ones he intended to help get an education. But is it necessarily the case that the fall of one non-profit means the eclipse of others? Mortenson's organization is world class, perhaps like the Red Cross or the United Way. He has attracted the support of presidents and corporate executives. So will they now be less sanguine about philanthropies and other saviors?
