The troops' white commander, Major Charles Penrose, testified before the Senate Military Affairs Committee that, "my men had nothing whatever to do with it."

This season, Salou fears they may lose more. A year after the leaders of the world's richest nations gathered in Scotland to work out a deal to help Africa, the results are still in the balance. The deal - a doubling of aid for the continent by 2010 and debt cancellation for eligible, heavily indebted poor countries, most of them African - was hailed as a breakthrough. For a brief moment...
