In the ongoing trial at The Hague of war criminal Charles Taylor, a cadre of international elites have been called upon to testify. Among them, the famed or rather infamous supermodel Naomi Campbell. She testified that she did not know that the diamonds Mr. Taylor gave her at a lavish party were 'blood diamonds,' a statement which has been contradicted by several witness including Ms. Campbell's former agent who has "described how the supermodel 'flirted' with the African warlord over dinner but was then disappointed that his gift of uncut 'blood diamonds' were not 'shiny enough.'"
