They accidentally appended "Br" to one of the words, that's all.

This is where the ideological fanaticism of the press actually hurts its cause. I don't think this Abu Ghraib stuff ever really caught on with the public the way the press seems to believe, but in its single-minded blindness, the Post and its cohorts keep pushing it out there. It leads to contortions like this. The press should do what it does best -- just tell outright lies -- instead of getting itself wrapped around the axel on stories that aren't selling.

Bury what you don't want people to know.

It's an old conservative trick -- just ask Chrissie Matthews. (sarcasm)

Co-writers Josh and Thomas; maybe these two boys should be separated when they write.

Better yet, the editor and the headline writer should be canned.

What part of 'leadership failings' do you not understand?

Editors suck... this is very common.

It always pays to read the last paragraph first and not bother with the headlines at all- they are almost never relevent to the article.

{The last paragraph's usually where editors bury the most important info- except for a few occasions when you might see the clincher paragraph at the top of the SECOND page of any web article, or just under the fold in a real paper if the article is one-piece.}

There's one thing about the war in Iraq that is exactly like Viet Nam. The press isn't on our side.

LOL

'Top brass not implicated in scandal', should be the headline.
