Nope, you didn't miss anything. The headline is very misleading. Bad jounalism is bad journalism, whether committed by those on the left or right.
Out of hundreds of posts, you're the only one to respond to my question. Thank you!
I've seen that headline on other sites and re-read the article and was sure I must be missing something. Even on FNC this morning, they said that Democrats said the killing of Zarqawi was a stunt. Not that I'm a defender of Democrats (LOL) but that's just bad reporting.
