I believe that Nelly Furtado did what was best. I think she did the right thing in giving the money to a charity and not back to Libya. First of all, Furtado was paid by the Quaddafi clan to sing for the family of the Libyan dictator Quaddafi. Therefore it's her money which means she could do whatever she wanted with it. Also, even though Quaddafi was a very cruel leader and the money given to Furtado was from the people in Libya doesn't mean it was wrong of her to take it because she was paid to do a certain thing which was preform for the Quaddafi family, and in return she got 1 million dollars. Another reason is, if Furtado gave it back to the new interim government of Libya they wouldn't necessarily use that money to help the people of Libya, they'd just keep the money for something else. And in the end the money didn't go to a bad cause either. It went to the charity "Free The Children."
Also, Libya has a new interim government and the people of Libya will eventually get help from other countries. If Quaddafi kept that money he'd have only used it for something non-helpful, so Furtado simply took the money and thought it through and put it towards a great cause. So i believe Furtado did do the right thing by giving the money away to charity instead of back to Libya.
I disagree with you because Quddafi is currently being chased away from libia ,the money came from taxes that libians paid, and if you donate it to a charity in libia it could help the libians in a different way.
