Wild fires continue to rage in Greece

An earlier report on NPR suggested that the fires may have been set by developers who were trying to circumvent a rule prohibiting development on forested land, though another theory suggests political extremists are responsible, trying to disrupt the upcoming elections. In any event, there's little doubt that the fires are the result of arson. And, a la Katrina, the govt response was slow - farmers on *tractors* were left to fight the fires for the first few DAYS. 63 dead so far.
