Today's headlines from the local papers:
Seattle Times:
Saddam’s sons killed in gunfight at hide-out[large PDF]
Reviled brothers’ demise seen as blow to loyalists, boost to U.S. troops
Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Saddam's sons slain in assault[large PDF]
Acting on a tip, a U.S. force of 200 attacks a house in Mosul
Can anybody see the difference?
The P-I editors must have been crying in their beer when they wrote the headline.

If you're gonna screw up, screw up in style:
"Fans Feast On Route By Man U"
They meant to say "Rout." On the front page. In 36pt bold headlines.
I guess the PI spends as much on proofreaders and editors as they do on fact checkers. Iget the feeling that their major expense is mind-altering substances for the opinion columnists.
