A slight amendment

Saturday:

News of the liquid bomb plot paralysed global air travel, prompting authorities to implement stringent security measures at airports around the world.

Sunday:

News of the alleged liquid bomb plot paralysed global air travel in August 2006, prompting authorities to implement stringent security measures at airports around the world.

I'm almost entirely sure it was nothing to do with me. But at least it's a step in the right direction from the corporation that brought you AIRLINE TERROR PLOT while the trial was ongoing - but the jury wasn't as convinced as the subeditors. Today's Indy, of course, carries on with the same assumption:

labelling Rashid Rauf PLANE PLOT BRITON.

What's the evidence he was involved in a 'plane plot'? I'm not saying he wasn't, I'm just wondering why, if it was so compelling that newspapers and other media have decided he did it, why he was never charged, tried or convicted. Do the media say that about other people never charged, tried or convicted of anything, even if they are dead and libel laws cease to worry them? I don't think they do.
