No 10 said it was not claiming a direct link but a spokeswoman said: "The prime minister has always said Saddam created a permissive environment for terrorism and we know that the people affiliated to al-Qaida operated in Iraq during the regime.

And what now? Though there is no 'permission' to operate in Iraq, they certainly are, and very angrily too. For al-Qaida is it more or less powerful in Iraq after the invasion? Obviously the situation is much, much worse. Breeding more internal 'insurgents' and more who are looking to hit the head of the beast (US and UK).

IE is too old, too insecure, too slow, too behind in standards, too inextensible. While Firefox, which I've been running now for over a year in one form or another, is wicked, man. Fast, powerful, a pleasure to use. If you're not running Firefox, and still in IE land, likely your IT manager at work says that's the way it is (so sorry ;-) or your a newbie to the net.

On that note, Thunderbird the email reader is pretty nice too. Though missing text search through a folder of messages.
[Update:] 02/07/04 Doh, Thunderbird has the BEST text searching, really fast, very configurable. Just not where I expected to see it: Tools menu ==> Search messages. Brilliant!
