You Would Think Harvard University Might Not Need to Take "Blood Money" from Qatar

The fact that Al-Jazeera spews hate and incites terror is well known, especially to those who listen to the Arabic language shows. The fact that Al Gore and his backers collected massive amounts of blood money selling Current TV to the Qatari-backed Al-Jazeera network is also known, though how this deal escaped U.S. government scrutiny and whether recipients are now flagged as agents of foreign governments is not known. These issues are important, but a bigger concern for me, as an alumnus of Harvard, is why this well-endowed institution, revered for good reasons by so many, would stop to taking dirty money from Qatar. Pretty tough to hang onto the motto "Truth" and all the more reason to revere Yale's motto instead: "Light and Truth"--it is past time for harsh lights to shine on Qatar!
