Dalia Mogahed, Executive Director of the Gallup Organization's Center for Muslim Studies, says she was encouraged by the many Forum experts' view of religion as a neutral tool, rather than a force inherently good or evil.

...former Liberian president looked relaxed as Canadian diamond expert Ian Smillie - one of the authors of a U.N. reports that accuses Taylor of being a gun smuggler - took the stand and told judges why he believed Taylor needed diamonds so badly. "They're very small, they're high value, they're easy to move [and] historically they've held their price very well," explained Smillie. "In the 1990s, the period we're talking about, they were an alternative to hard currency in countries where there was no hard currency or where people wanted to hide the movement of money...
