Guardian: Bloody search for DNA to discover bin Laden's fate - American special forces searching the Tora Bora cave complex in eastern Afghanistan are collecting dismembered fingers and human organ tissue.aircraft dropped 'daisycutter' 15,000lb bombs,which are the world's largest conventional weapons, at the entrances to tunnels. Investigations have shown that the ground around some of the entrances was simply vapourised. Fighters further inside the caves were torn to pieces by colossal pressure waves and incinerated by an onrushing wall of heat. 'In some places,' the source continued, 'there isn't much left to gather up.'  3:09:52 PM

Guardian: Price of power - The ethical - maybe criminal - core of the scandal is that Enron trapped its employees into a 'stock-lock', whereby they were not allowed to sell share options bought by way of savings. When the company collapsed, they lost everything. Meanwhile, Enron's executives - blessed by inside information and foresight - made a killing by scrambling to sell shares before the price collapsed.  1:56:05 PM

Guardian: Greed is the creed, Bush and ENRON - American democracy is increasingly a fraud. Money buys votes, influence and office. Contemporary Washington makes Caligula's Rome look like a vicar's tea party. American politicians' need for business donations on a gigantic scale to win their election campaigns now pollutes the discourse of the country's public life, with business writing public policy and corrupting everything it touches. And the noxious consequences, in terms of ideas and business practice, spill over into Britain. It is starting to smell nasty. These people should be caught and imprisoned.   1:45:40 PM

Guardian: Lastminute plans share lure - The scheme will offer all employees the chance to buy shares at discounts of up to 20 per cent. Staff will be able to save up to £250 a month under the plan. Its share price crash from about 500p in April 2000 to just over 30p now. In the 12 months to 30 September 2001, its group operating loss was £57m, against a loss of nearly £40m the year before. I think if it were me, I'd take the cash. There's still a high possibility that Last minute will fail, or another competitor will streak ahead.   1:41:23 PM

Steve Hooker's mobile weblog posts have got nicer graphics than mine. Typical. Some hard working underpaid scripter comes up with the idea then some graphic designer makes it look nicer! From [David Davies' Radio Weblog] He's not a hard working scripter! He's a quack! Or at least a lecturer at a med skool. And all I did was to search for PowerBook in images.google. And at last he puts his how to up, which apart from a case and an internal script is the same as mine, what about the time of the email/SMS? Spill buster!   10:11:16 AM
