“Certainly, mistakes were made,” Santorum said of the war’s conduct. “But that’s a criticism you can make of every conflict.”

This statement justifies a headline of:

Santorum Critical Of Bush, War In Iraq

?????

Note the only other quote in the article:

The media only report the death toll, Santorum said. While conceding that is “a piece of the story,” he questioned how the public would have felt about World War II if the media had reported only the body count and not news of cities liberated by the Allies.

...which is absolutely correct.

You've got to be a bit careful letting AP spin your head.

Proper headline is:

Santorum critical of media bias in Iraq war; Media responds by distorting Santorum's comments and making it look like he criticized the President
