Aid Workers Stealing Children

November 6, 2007 | ISSUE 43•45

Several French aid workers are charged with trying to smuggle 103 children they claimed were orphans from Darfur, but in reality were children with living parents from Chad. What do you think?

I'm outraged that my Darfur orphan may just be a cheap Chadian knockoff.

Gery Weidemeyer
Waste Management Worker
We all know Mr. and Mrs. Oueddei weren't giving their son the support he needed to become a successful subsistence farmer.

Cathy Terrell
Systems Analyst
My guess is the non-orphan issue would be moot a year or two from now.

Hal Getrust
Cabinet Maker
