Who is accounting for millions sent to Haiti?

Many Americans are confused about the disaster in Haiti and where the millions of dollars being sent are going, in particular the vast sums of money contributed to Catholic Relief Services.

We hear about $9 million pledged to CNN, $58 million to the two-hour solicitation by entertainers. Where do these millions of dollars end up, what bank is being used, who is the administrator? It seems to us that there is more than enough cash to take care of food and medical supplies; what about rebuilding the entire area?
