Today's Women's Wear Daily has a feature story on the politics of diamonds, focusing on a subject that we've featured several times here at the BofG:  conflict diamonds.  Read the WWD article linked here today while it's free!

Those interested in a more in depth exploration of the issue may want to check out the seven-minute documentary on the topic posted on youtube.com.  As the warning states, the film contains scenes of a violent and graphic nature, so if you're squeamish you might want to stick with newsprint.
