It's in the P-I

Today's lead editorial in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:

President Bush last week marked the 100th day since military operations ended in Iraq.

What Bush actually said was:

Friday of this week was the 100th day since the end of major combat operations in Iraq.

The P-I could just as plausibly respin the same quote into "Bush declares an end to major operations", in order to tell the story that he's about to shut down Medicare.

The P-I goes on to say that:

The connection between Iraq and terror remains to be seen

Google claims to have 1,330,000 documents containing the words "terror" and "Iraq". Only a few of these are editorials by Saddam supporters pretending that the connection between Iraq and terror remains to be seen.
