Not In The Newsfilter: Yesterday, two men
attended their pre-trial hearing at Preston Crown Court, accused of possession of explosive material. As previously
reported only in
local newspapers, Robert Cottage was in possession of 'what is believed to be a record haul of chemicals used in making home-made bombs', while a search of former
BNP candidate David Bolus Jackson's house 'uncovered rocket launchers, chemicals... and a nuclear biological suit'. Some
webloggers, and the
left-wing press, are wondering whether the story might have received more coverage if the suspected bomb-makers had been, say, Muslims. The BBC
blame reporting restrictions.

some showing the curvature of the earth. You can also download
a KML file to follow the balloon's flight path in Google Earth.

We Shall Not Be Moved: Some joined the US military as a patriotic duty, some to better themselves, but the horrors of serving in Iraq, including Abu Ghraib, changed everything. Deserters tell Gary Younge why they had to quit.
