Thats a damn damn shame, honestly.
Taking advantage of others peoples compassion and abusing it. -
This shouldn't put anyone off giving to charity. As I read the article, the Japanese government took money budgeted for tsunami relief and used it for something totally different. This isn't a charitable organization misusing private donations.
Without getting too deeply into politics, that sort of government redirection happens all the time in all countries. However, non-profit groups are regulated by various laws and doing activities like that would be prohibited and open them up to civil liability, lawsuits and possibly criminal prosecution.
I won't try to convince anyone that all charities are pure as the driven snow, but if you do a small amount of due diligence, it's easy to find groups with high standards of transparency, accountability and minimal administrative overhead. Giving to them can be done with a fair degree of confidence that your money will go to do exactly what you expect it to do.
