The pathetic sentences for the sectarian murderers of Michael McIlveen

8 and 9 years before parole application wouldn't be what I would consider a life sentence for sectarian murder.

Peter Eichstaedt's short book, Consuming the Congo: War and Conflict Minerals in the World's Deadliest Place*, takes up the story where Jason Stearns leaves off. Eichstaedt, a formidable journalist and Africa expert, traces the whole grimy trail of exploitation. It begins with ragged villagers digging the gold, tin, or coltan (used in computers and cell phones), continues up through the militias who tax the diggers ruthlessly, on to the négociants who in turn sell to the comptoirs in the eastern Congo cities of Goma or Bukavu, who deliver the ore to international smelting corporations, mostly in Asia. So far efforts to smash this chain—which still finances the militias in their campaigns of mass rape and massacre—have been unsuccessful.

Don't know how some people can do things like this, certainly not something I could stomach

Unconfirmed whether the video is realia or not.

I think it is hard to understand the sheer awfulness of mass murder but this gives an idea

"We found the strip of land the bodies were burned on," said Haimi. "The earth there is painted a reddish-brown color. My guess is that this is from the blood and fat of the victims, which seeped down to a depth of three meters. The area smells of carrion. It's amazing and horrifying at the same time."

There was a movie on that place: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092978/



It is on Netflix. Decent watch but a harrowing story.

That Adrian Bayley fella, who was convicted of raping and murdering Jill Meagher, is just 41 years old and has been convicted of 22 rapes against 6 different women and he was out on parole. Was the Australian Justice system trying to help him get into the Guinness Book of Records?

Rossnowlagh at the weekend.

WTF are Donegal County Council up to? I've never seen anything like this, anywhere! Complete and utter disgrace. Apparently several young kids went "missing" too. Emergency services were called. They were eventually found on the beach.
