Italy - After austerity, Prime Minister Mario Monti looks to growth

Published on Jan 12, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti has said that Europe cannot rely on austerity to fix its economic problems.

The former European Commissioner told parliament that more efforts must be made to boost growth.

On Wednesday he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who praised Italy's plans to reduce its 1.9 trillion euro debt pile.

Monti said EU leaders must soon agree new rules on fiscal discipline.

He added. "It's very important, without forgetting fiscal discipline, to go beyond that and invest more energy into growth."

Afghanistan - US investigates Taliban corpse abuse

Published on Jan 12, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ The US military is investigating a video showing what appears to be troops urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.

The footage of what seems to be US marines has been uploaded to several sites including videosharing site Youtube.

The film could be another blow for America after previous scandals like the abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison in 2004 and the recent conviction of 11 soldiers for running what became known as a 'kill squad', murdering unarmed Afghan civilians.

I read about this story from the Mother Jones piece listed here. They mention the user "semperfilonevoice", which is the same Youtube profile from which I downloaded the footage and subsequently uploaded to my own profile (keeping same title).

Needless to say, the footage is disturbing, disgusting, and will be a black eye to American foreign policy.

How many more reasons do we need to end the war in Afghanistan?
