Independent Online Edition
Today's lead at the Independent above concerns the plight of two protesting grandmothers from Yorkshire.

The first bird flu case in Britain has been reported from Fife. The offending beast has been dead a while and may have been partially eaten by other animals, which makes it sound like the authorities have been rather slow off the mark. We keep our fingers crossed.
Sad to say, Amerika has decided that "democracy" is no longer its priority in Iraq and that scientists must no longer express their views on global warming and climate change. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard have gone to war with the FBI - the latter now described as "The Federal Bureau of Luddites " by Slate. The Government Accountability Office reckons just about all the federal agencies are currently in breach of privacy rights law anyway.
On a more optimistic note, an article at Ode magazine concerns The Most Hopeful Court in the World - namely the European Court of Human Rights.
