VIP's Get in the Way of Relief Efforts

It's being reported that so many VIPs are flying in and out of Banda Aceh's (Sumatra Island) small airport that the flow of supplies and critically needed materials are being disrupted.

Enough, already! The area's destroyed! What else do these people need to know?

With Colin Powell's visit, his plane took off immediately after dropping him off to avoid taking up room; American congressmen arrived from the USS Abraham Lincoln via helicopter for the same reason. Others international dignitaries have not been so courteous.

Sounds like someone needs to get a handle on things over there.
