'Designated terrorists': Extremist groups raked in millions from USAID, multiyear study reveals

[Michie]

USAID has doled out millions to groups tied to terrorism and extremism, recent report finds​

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided millions of dollars in funding to extremist groups tied to designated terrorist organizations and their allies, according to a report published by Middle East Forum, a U.S. think tank.

“The Middle East Forum’s multi-year study of USAID and State Department spending has uncovered $164 million of approved grants to radical organizations, with at least $122 million going to groups aligned with designated terrorists and their supporters," the conservative think tank wrote in its report published Feb. 4.

"Billions more of federal dollars have been given to leading American aid charities which have consistently failed to vet their terror-tied local partners, and show little interest in improving their practices, to the apparent indifference of the federal government."

The Middle East Forum’s report focuses specifically on funds from USAID and the State Department that wound up in the hands of radical groups and organizations tied to terrorism.

Why are you attacking an organization which gave Catholic Relief Services $1.8 billion a year--half its budget?
Recently you said it was because less than 1/2 of 1% of its budget was spent on things you disapproved of.
So for that, we should be ok with 100's of thousands of African children dying of dysentery while their parents starve?

Why are you defending an organization that has given millions of dollars to terror groups?

I never cared for USAID after hearing of their involvement with the CIA, but used to help evil is ridiculous.
