Subject:Debate is on
Time:04:51 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican John McCain says he's going to be at the first presidential debate, even though Congress doesn't have a bailout deal. With less than 10 hours until the debate was scheduled to start, the McCain campaign announced that the Arizona senator would travel to the University of Mississippi. The campaign said after the forum he will fly back to Washington to continue working on the financial crisis. — AP Top News at 11:40 a.m. EDT
The 90 minute debate starts at 2am BST tonight, and will be broadcast live online on this incredibly annoying MySpace page. I may well stay up to watch, in which case I shall also hang out on irc://irc.netgoth.org.uk/potus if you want to share a virtual beer.

Subject:Jailed for making notes about bombs?
Time:02:42 pm
Man jailed for 15 years on terror charges

On the balance of probabilities, I think the guy's a wrongun. But beyond reasonable doubt?

Jailed for making notes about bombs argues that he was just a nutter with an Al-Qaeda fixation, unlikely to actually do anything. Maybe.

Subject:The real threat to the life of the nation
Time:01:49 pm
The real threat to the life of the nation, in the sense of a people living in accordance with its traditional laws and political values, comes not from terrorism but from laws such as these. That is the true measure of what terrorism may achieve. It is for Parliament to decide whether to give the terrorists such a victory.
