Yahoo! News - IAEA Says Can't Prove Iraq Making Nuclear Weapons
When I read this headline, I expected the article to weaken our case against Iraq. But this article actually makes our case for us!
The United Nations nuclear watchdog said Monday it had information that could indicate Iraq was attempting to revive its nuclear weapons program, but on-site inspections were needed to draw clear conclusions.
If I'd been writing the headline, it would have read "IAEA: Evidence Iraq Building Nukes; On-Site Inspections Needed". But that wouldn't have the spin like this one, and someone who just glanced at the headline might actually get a real picture of what's going on.
