AusAid near top of Clinton Foundation Donors List

Last week, the Clinton Foundation released its donors list. Doing so was apparently a stipulation attached to his wife's being offered the Sec. of State position.

Very near the top of that list was an acronym that many Americans scrutinizing the list would not have recognized: AUSAID, Australia's official aid organization. It apparently donated an amount somewhere between 10 and 25 million US dollars. A search for "USAID," unfortunately, turned up only one hit. Yes, "AUSAID." Hum, conspicuously absent? Probably not. I also noticed that Norway gave a hefty sum (but Norway's flat stinkin' rich).
