More Fun With Headlines

Cidu Bill on Dec 3rd 2008

This is what the congressionally mandated report, released yesterday, actually said:

“The commission believes that unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.”

Did anybody see a single newspaper headline that didn’t say that a WMD attack was either “Likely,” “Almost Inevitable” or “Inevitable”?
