Pat Robertson Is The Lord of War?

I had to look into nonprofits connected to Katrina relief for a class I'm taking. Here is what I wrote:

Hello,
I was looking over the nonprofits people have written about and aside from FEMA they all seem competent and above board. I thought it would be interesting and more informative to write about a bad nonprofit. This nonprofit is called Operation Blessing. For the first few days after Hurricane Katrina, it was listed as the second official chosen charity listed by FEMA for donations to help Katrina victims. Chances are most people never heard of Operation Blessing so why did it get listed by FEMA. Operation Blessing is Pat Robertson’s charity. That’s right Pat Robertson of “who would Jesus assassinate fame.” It was started in 1978. It does disaster relief, life skills, medical services, and water wells and cistern building in the developing world. Here is Operation Blessings website:

Operation Blessing:
Founded on November 14, 1978, the Operation Blessing International Relief and Development Corporation (OBI) is a non-profit humanitarian organization based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It is dedicated to alleviating human need and suffering in the United States and around the world. Since inception, OBI has helped more than 155 million people in 96 countries and all 50 states as well as distributed good valued at more than $500 million.

Those are very good things to do, so why is Operation Blessing a bad nonprofit?

Here is some background on Pat Robertson’s connection to two of the most brutal dictators of the last 40 years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson#Support_for_Charles_Taylor

Support for Charles Taylor
Robertson repeatedly supported former President of Liberia Charles Taylor in various episodes of his 700 Club program during the United States' involvement in the Liberian Civil War in June and July 2003. Robertson accuses the U.S. State Department of giving President Bush bad advice in supporting Taylor's ouster as president, and of trying "as hard as they can to destabilize Liberia." Robertson has been criticized for failing to mention in his broadcasts his $8 million investment in a Liberian gold mine. Taylor had been at the time of Robertson's support indicted by the United Nations for war crimes, and prosecutors also said he had harbored members of Al Qaeda responsible for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings. According to Robertson, the Liberian gold mine Freedom Gold was intended to help pay for humanitarian and evangelical efforts in Liberia, when in fact the company was allowed to fail leaving many debts both in Liberia and in the international mining service sector. Regarding this controversy, Richard Land, head of the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy said, "I would say that Pat Robertson is way out on his own, in a leaking life raft, on this one."
Robertson has also been accused of using his tax-exempt, nonprofit organization, Operation Blessing, as a front for his own financial gain, and then using his influence in the Republican Party to cover his tracks. After making emotional pleas in 1994 on The 700 Club for cash donations to Operation Blessing to support airlifts of refugees from Rwanda to Zaire, it was later discovered, by a reporter from The Virginian Pilot, that Operation Blessing's planes were transporting diamond-mining equipment for the Robertson-owned African Development Corporation, a venture Robertson had established in cooperation of Zaire's dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.
An investigation by Virginia's Office of Consumer Affairs determined that Robertson "willfully induced contributions from the public through the use of misleading statements and other implications" and called for a criminal prosecution against Robertson in 1999. However, the Virginia Attorney General Mark Earley, a Republican, (whose largest campaign contributor two years earlier was Robertson himself) intervened, accepting that Robertson had made deceptive appeals but overruling the recommendation for his prosecution.

Could it be that Operation Blessing is a front for illegal smuggling:

Diamond mining scandal
An Operation Blessing airplane was reportedly[1] being used for Pat Robertson's personal mining venture. In 1997, two of Operation Blessing's pilots, Robert Hinkle and Tahir Brohi, told the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper that Operation Blessing planes were diverted to support Pat Robertson's diamond mining ventures instead of doing relief work in Zaire. Even though Robertson reimbursed Operation Blessing for the use of these planes, some have criticized the organization for allowing the use of resources by a for-profit venture. A Robertson spokesperson said that the planes used were unsuitable for relief work. No charges were ever filed in the matter.

Now as if this charity isn’t bizarre enough, check out who is involved with it now and what Katrina means for Operation Blessing.

Hurricane Katrina involvement
Operation Blessing provided large amounts of food and other donations[2] to people affected by Hurricane Katrina.
From at least September 2, 2005, to September 4, 2005, the Federal Emergency Management Agency directed web site visitors to many sites for donations, with Operation Blessing listed third, after America's Second Harvest and The Red Cross.[3] Then, FEMA replaced the links with a single link to nvoad.org. Leaders of other charity and relief organizations have estimated that this linking has enriched Operation Blessing by "tens of millions of dollars". Many have questioned this high profile linking to Operation Blessing, in light of the organization's close affiliation with Pat Robertson, who weeks previously had been a center of controversy since his plea for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.[4]
Former Entertainment Tonight host, New Age/Christian musician and syndicated radio host John Tesh is directing contributions towards Operation Blessing from his site TeshRadioRelief.com. He is calling in to his own show, as well as Pat Robertson's shows on CBN, giving on-the-ground coverage of Operation Blessing's efforts in the Katrina-ravaged Gulf States region.[5]
