The purpose of my post is to highlight that those who say “Mortenson did some bad things but ultimately he still did good” is not good enough.

I’m surprised by your re-definition of words to support your point. Can we also agree that Mortenson labelled himself a hero? There’s no point in arguing semantics after that.

Before I posted my review, I did some checking to see whether there had been significant refutation of the allegations. There hasn’t been anything other than clarification of some details. The responses to date on ikat.org are not persuasive at all.

The best thing the CAI could do is to publicly hire one of the big four audit firms and engage them openly for a full and comprehensive forensic investigation of the CAI, their finances and financial management and their activities and outcomes with a commitment to publish the full report no matter what. This is the right thing to do to regain support in the short-term and finally put the allegations to rest. I have seen no commitment to publish this full report – which is why the rumours still swirl.

Thanks for the comment. The irony wasn’t lost on me that you seem to make the same type of comment all over the web.

Your posting is less than useless on accounta it’s a simple repeat of hundreds of others. Catch up! Read http://www.ikat.org while waiting for the rest of the answers from 3rd party investigations.
