Operation Underground Railroad would not be confused for a government operation; it quickly made its name conducting sting operations overseas in which Ballard or a colleague posed, often hammily, as an American pedophile.[qh]

While no one doubts Ballard’s enthusiasm for the work, critics have questioned the efficacy of OUR’s “raid and rescue” approach, which was popularized in the 1990s by various anti-trafficking NGOs, notably the Christian nonprofit International Justice Mission. [qh]
虽然没有人怀疑巴拉德对这项工作的热情，但批评人士质疑“地下铁路行动”的“突袭和营救”方法的有效性，这种方法在20世纪90年代由各种反贩卖的非政府组织推广开来，尤其是基督教非营利性组织国际正义使命团。[qh]
