It would be easy to conclude from UK headlines that the British Government is getting tough on Terrorism. But while British Security services seek an extension to the detention laws for potential terrorists the government appears to be undermining their efforts.Cabinet Minister Jacqui Smith has announced a $25 million initiative to provide therapy and counseling to people who are members of extreme violent religious organizations.

Aston Martin CEO Overlooks Full Environmental Impact   
Aston Martin’s Chief Executive has spoken out against proposed EU emission laws that would penalize luxury car companies such as his. In a recent interview  {Financial Times} Ulrich Bez has claimed that owners of these sports cars cover such little mileage that their real world emissions are very low. He also suggested that emissions should be calculated on a car’s Carbon Dioxide emissions against yearly mileage rather than a CO2 per kilometer test.
