| They've Bean Had |
 Only last week the British Military were celebrating having found a record haul of opium seeds. Believing they’d struck a serious blow to the Taliban, seizing more than 1.3 tonnes of the seeds the sale of which finances their terrorist activities, the army rushed to inform the world’s media of their conquest. However this supposed victory has turned out to be a triumph of ignorance as it was revealed that rather than opium seeds the haul were actually mung beans. This incident is yet more evidence that the British military in Afghanistan do not have their fingers on the pulses. |
| Dam Busters |
 The Chinese Government has backed down on their controversial Internet censorship software following pressure from bloggers and governments worldwide. The Green Dam software looked set to further enforce China’s great firewall, restricting access to websites deemed unacceptable by the government. However at the last minute the Government have bowed to pressure and discarded plans to preinstall the program on new computers. China’s 300 million Internet users have viewed this as a major victory for freedom of speech and information. However sceptics have warned against premature celebrations, seeing it instead as the first steps on the long road to digital liberty. |
