Female Italian Journalist got free, but was accitentally attacked by U.S. troops.

I cannot understand this.


Another schocking thing is this :

Olive Trees are cut down and used as burning stuff for ovens in Italy and elsewhere.

The shoking thing about this is

- they were very old

- they need decades to properly grow fruit

- there are commercial interests behind that

- the journalist mentioned in the article was beaten down by several persons as he tried to film such an act of cutting down. This leads to Mafia, he says.

- the lands - exposed to the strong sunlight - will soon overheat - they will face an ecological desaster there (well, personally I think the word "desaster" is too weak. Everything will get burned.).

- the people don't realize that they can let them cut down only ONCE.

To sum it up, I'm totally shocked. Olive treesarealmost sacrd to me (deep emotional feeling). I'm feeling helpless and full of sorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
