HEADLINE OF THE DAY...

...and blandly misleading!

The blandly misleading headline of the day, from the Associated Press (who, along with Reuters, has apparently stopped identifying when their wire stories are written by Palestinian stringers):

Three Palestinians Killed in Violence.

Of those "three Palestinians," one blew himself up and the other two were "militants" involved in a gun battle.


JENIN, West Bank - A Palestinian militant blew himself up Thursday and two other Palestinians were killed in a gunbattle with Israeli troops during an arrest raid in the West Bank town of Jenin, Palestinian security officials said. No soldiers were injured during the raid, the army said. Thursday, January 12, 2006
