Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar holds his head in his hands
while listening to opposition parliamentarians during a parliamentary
session in Madrid on December 16, 2002. Aznar defended his government's
handling of the Prestige tanker disaster. Both the opposition Socialist
party and local media have questioned the government's decision to tow
the stricken tanker out to sea where it finally sank November 19.
