witchcraft or religious freedom ?

Beheadings in India, apologies in America

Another horrible story about the treatment of people suspected of witchcraft. This time two women and one man were found beheaded in India, another body is yet to be found. Police say they had been accused of sorcery. Four people have confessed to the horrific crime and it has been called a revenge attack after a local village leader's son was killed by a snake bite two weeks ago.

In America, President Bush has apologised to a Wiccan widow who won a law suit to have the symbol of Wicca placed on her husband's grave - he died fighting in Afghanistan.
