Three Cups of Tea and Greg Mortenson 27-Apr-2011 At 12:52:16 PM Duncan

Two separate reports have come out questioning the events outlined in Greg Mortenson's best-seller Three Cups of Tea. See here:

Mortenson's response is here:

I think it's important to note that in the 60 Minutes report John Krakauer points out that Mortenson HAS built schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. There's also an article somewhere about what effect this will have on people's willingness to give to charites like the CAI, but I can't find it.

Discuss.
