Your headline was very misleading. What did "Bush" do here? If he had anything to do with it and I am sure he didn't, he would have been correct. FRAUD is a very big item of late and you seem to think the name of the group should exclude them from audits. lol Get a grip Kenneth! Maybe you should be audited, if you think non-transparent books are Okay! Bush sends the IRS to audit the Nature Conservancy. From your link: Months later, the Conservancy filed its 2002 tax return -- which again showed that the loans to WEPCO totaled $2.2 million. A specialist in nonprofit corporations who reviewed the Conservancy's tax returns described them as confounding. "It stunned me," said the specialist, Peter Dobkin Hall, of Harvard University's Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations. "It's not exactly what I'd call a transparent organization. "I find that very peculiar. I couldn't find out a damn thing about them. It was a brick wall." Internal Conservancy documents show that the organization's auditor has complained about problems that could lead to IRS scrutiny or, in the words of one memo, to "the possibility of public exposure."
