Fouling while Lebanon burns
Among the many other casualties of the current Israel-Hezbollah conflict is any effort to clean up the massive spill of fuel oil on the Lebanese coast, caused by an Israeli raid on a Lebanese power plant in July.
More than 30,000 tons of heavy fuel oil have spilled into the Mediterranean -- a spill to rival the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill on the Alaskan coast.
