And that makes things any better?

Noticed this gem from The Times:

Clarification

A report (‘We will kill our hostages, Sunni group warns Iranâ€?, January 5) suggested incorrectly that Syrian support for Hezbollah was to blame for murders in Lebanon. It should have made it clear that Syria is blamed for the assassinations in Lebanon.

  • Creationist Zoo Wins Education Award July 24, 2010
    Noah's Ark Zoo in Wraxall, North Somerset has won a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality badge for its schools programme. This is surprising for two reasons.
