The money isn't the problem...

Groups like The Nature Conservancy have taken money from BP in the past. Some are claiming this damages the reputation of these organizations.

I disagree, the donation was between a company that wanted to look environmentally friendly, and non-profits that need cash to protect the environment. Both sides knew what the deal was, and it should be clear to everyone else too.

The real question, is what those groups are going to do now. Are they going to hit BP hard for its mistakes, or are they going to go soft on the company?
