...or two.  why can't those damn american pilots fly their flying machines?
that's what, the third that they've lost on training missions?  compared to
the two that have gone down over serbia, and they don't even know what
happened to the second of those.  surely it can't be that hard to drive
those things.  tom cruise made it look positively simple.


>Did anyone else catch Harold Pinter's blast against the war?

yep, i don't usually like Pinter, but he was making a hell of a lot of
sense.  pity he injected a wee too much drama into his performance.  did
you catch the foreign ministry guy's response on newsnight?  another
classic paxman moment.
