Conscientious objectors backed by ASLEF

Guardian piece about two train drivers in Scotland who are the only people trained to deliver munitions refusing to do so because they object to the attack on Iraq. Company (EWS) tries to pretend that there are "leaves on the track" etc. This story was also reported on Friday's "Democracy NOW!" http://www.democracynow.org (archives up shortly)
