The best evidence for the BBC's gift for understatement can be found in this headline:
Austria cellar man 'mentally ill'
The article is actually about the defense attorney pleading diminished capacity as opposed to an argument against those who feel that imprisoning your own daughter in a basement for twenty some odd years and repeatedly raping her (in the process father a half dozen kids by her) is *not* a sign of mental illness.
