I watched the movie today called "Blood Diamonds", and it was excellent. It has Leonardo DiCaprio in it - who did a excellent job in it too I might add. It is very much worth watching. (A Warning: There is strong language and graphic violence in this movie. Questionable for children.) The movie gave me something to think about, and I was inspired to post information concerning this.

Why isn't the media covering this like they should?

I posted several links about this topic of some of the good sites I found. I cannot post all of them that I found due the lengthy search listings.
