BBC NEWS | Politics | Regret over terror link's release:

"The detainee, known only as 'G', said his detention without trial for more than two years had made him psychotic. "

And that's a good reason to release him? There are many reasons he could have been released, for instance the fact that no-one has offered any proof as to why he was being detained, but 'being psychotic' is not one of them.

Scaryduck: Not Scary. Not A Duck.:

"And that's the trouble of having the hots for Charlotte Church. Despite the figure, the Voice of An Angel and the shedloads of cash, there will always, always be the knowledge in the back of your mind that she is Welsh. I, for one, couldn't handle it and have thus banished all thoughts of Churchiness from my mind. You'd be hammering away, and at the last minute you'll think of Neil Kinnock. A dead loss."

same as the old boss. Rossi storms to victory for Yamaha

Fo those of you who don't know, Valentino Rossi has been world bike GP champion for the past 3 years. At the end of last year he said "wel, its all getting a bit easy now. I fancy a challenge. I know, I'll go and race for Yamaha, the 5th best team instead of Honda who are way out in front".

So, he goes to Yamaha. The bike is a lump. He works on it with the team, he comes out for the first race of the season saying he'd quite like a podium finish, and he wins in what is easily the best race i have seen in years.

He is the only rider ever to win back to back races on different bikes. What on Earth can anyone do to stop him? The most talented man on 2 wheels.
