Former Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti seen on a political talk
show in Rome October 30, 2003. Italy's supreme Court acquitted
Andreotti on charges that he ordered the 1979 murder of a muck-raking
journalist. The high court overturned a ruling by an appeals court last
November that had found the 84-years-old Andreotti guilty and had
sentenced him to 24 years in prison. REUTERS/Tony Gentile
