In the wake of the G8 Summit, where the leaders of the world�s richest counties reiterated their promise to cancel all the debt owed by third world countries, Greg Palast talks to Randi Rhodes about vulture funds siphoning aid for Africa. One such vulture fund, Donegal International, is trying to collect $40 million dollars from Zambia after buying one of its debts for $4 million. Congressman John Conyers and Donald Payne have brought up the topic with President Bush, demanding he close the legal loopholes that allow vulture funds to profit from poverty.

As the One Vote �08 campaign is working with members of both parties to mobilize �voters to save lives and secure our future,� the link between these vulture fund operations and the Republican Party makes me wonder if there is an ulterior motive behind Senators Bill Frist and Tom Daschle getting involved with Bono�s relief work.
