another Republican ripoff

Retired U.S. Army Gen. Tommy Franks,a republican, who led the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, was paid $100,000 to endorse a veterans charity that watchdog groups say is ripping off donors and wounded veterans by using only a small portion of the money raised for veterans services, according to testimony in Congress today.

Franks has since disassociated himself from Chapin's charities and asked that his name be removed from the solicitation. . We understand he developed misgivings and asked that his name be taken off," Congressman Waxman said.
