    "Others in a country where some feel everyone is tainted said they would rather not dig up the past. Because the violence was so widespread it's not uncommon to find Liberian families that have both victim and perpetrator under the same roof — a daughter who was raped and a son who took up a gun and went on to rape the daughters of other families.

    'Liberians have tried to forget these stories,' Mary Kollie said Sunday as she waited for a taxi home from church."


    And where's the US media coverage of this country's problems? Nada. Well, that is, not until we get a story about a guy whose nickname makes an irresistably eye-catching headline.
