They're telling it about as crooked as they can get. They're experts at twisting the truth to make things look much worse than they really are.
Re: your tagline: "Please pray for peace in Iraq"
A couple of years ago, when I saw The Passion of the Christ, I was so inspired, I came here and made a lengthy post about how we should make a group prayer, and also envision the terrorists surrounded by white light, envision the anger dissolving and people beginning to have the strength to understand each other instead of carrying grudges, allowing Christ's love to pour into their hearts.
I got a few positive replies, from those I have pinged, and others whom I can't remember now.
Your tagline has reminded me to keep working on this.
I have also pinged trussell, who, IIRC, has a prayer ping list. If you think it's a good idea, trussell, please pass it on.
And please ping me if you do. :)
