...included a parking lot in the northern town of Derby on a list of the world's 10 most secure places, alongside more well-known entries such as Fort Knox and Air Force One. The car park made the cut because, thanks to its sophisticated network of CCTV cameras, panic buttons and patented movement sensors, it has not suffered a single theft or case of vandalism in six years...

While the Bush administration continues to insist that the invasion was justified and necessary despite the news that weapons of mass destruction on which the case for war was built didn't exist, Powell admitted to the Washington Post that if he'd known the truth about Iraq's WMD capability he might not have advocated an invasion. Asked if he would have advocated invading in the absence of WMD, the Secretary of State answered: "It was the stockpile that presented...
