Here is the text with the bits they edited out highlighted in red

Subject: stories we should have heard

dear atc,
thanks for your usually excellent show.
we know that anthrax is a big story. but a weeks worth of atc gave us at least 8 stories (i lost count).

we heard nothing of at least 3 stories which i would have thought fit the show perfectly:

• 1) tunnel fire in italy/switzerland.
  
• 2) iranian soccer fans riot 3 times in the space of 7 days. (over a loss AND a victory) , this is how revolutions are born
  
• 3) the hague court overturns convictions of 3 people from ex-yugoslavia
  

please, please give us a broader view, the last thing our country needs is to turn in on itself.
regards
