  Ridiculous article. In essence they are saying "The press overreacts. The relief work is fine. If the press wouldn't report the problems then the relief effort would be better".

  The press needs to shine the spotlight on the problems. Security is part of the relief process. That's typically provided by the state forces. The relief effort is broken if they can't reach the people who need help. We are talking human lives being lost. Every minute counts.
