How low can people go?

According to Dean and Chief Wiggles the problem with the shipping company Atlas Lines that I previously mentioned has not actually been resolved. Via Joe there's details of the company in question, Atlas Line (USA), here. The very short story is Operation Give is a charity which many in the blogosphere have contributed to and it brings toys and other items for Iraqi kids. Now the long and the short of it is this shipping company, Atlas Line, has US$30,000 belonging to Operation Give and are not giving it back. There is documentary proof and a comprehensive timeline.

Jim or anyone else that is in a position to help, you need to get in touch with Dean Esmay and see what you can do. These guys are ruining Georgia's reputation.

Even if this ends up being a misunderstanding it is very hard to see how Atlas Line can justify their actions. It's a charity they're dealing with, not a business.

Without wanting to end on a bad note, go and have a look at this photo over at Operation Shoefly.

UPDATE:I didn't realise until I read over at Sgt. Hook's Operation Shoefly that OPSF is also affected by this. So it's not one, it's two charities that are suffering here. These Atlas Line people need to know they cannot get away with this cr@p.

Hmmmm, this affects OPSF as Chief Wiggles has graciously offered to add our shoes to his shipping containers. Thanks for the tip.
