Lots of heat on television news channels over whether super model Naomi Campbell did or did not receive a gift of ' blood diamonds ' from Charles Taylor who is on trial at the International Criminal Court for his crimes in Liberia. Testifying under oath Naomi Campbell was honest saying that she was a reluctant witness and that she just wanted to get it over with and get on with her life. She testified that she did not know who Charles Taylor was or anything about Liberia. This may be because she is stupid, which is not a crime, or that she has no interest in world news and current affairs. She met the man at a party in Nelson Mandela's house so she must have assumed that all guests had been vetted and trusted Mr. Mandela not to associate with an especially heartless man whose followers went around chopping limbs of two year olds. If she had never heard of Liberia then she would not be aware of ' blood diamonds ' and how they were being used to finance war between various factions. From what is being reported it seems that the prosecution has no real evidence which can link Taylor to the atrocities and they are relying solely on trying to prove that he trafficked in illegal diamonds which is why all the focus on Ms Campbell. The entire diamond business in the world is illegal anyway. All diamonds go through a clearing house in London making it the center of the largest cartel in the world. This is why diamonds are so expensive which is reflected in the fact that resale value of a stone is almost nothing whereas gold always sells at the current market price for bullion. Anyway as long as Tony Blair is roaming free why are they after small fry? Is it because he is an African?
