Veterans charity scams

I think it is good for these news stories to be widespread.

"The director of a national charity for veterans has gone into hiding after defying a congressional subpoena.

Roger Chapin, head of the California-based charity, Help Hospitalized Veterans, refused to appear today before a congressional hearing chaired by Congressman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., who is investigating how the charity's money was spent."

I read another story where only 1 cent of every dollar donated went to the veterans but it is legal because these charities are unregulated.
