Prefer the Military's headline, it is more intellectually honest.

UPDATE: Coalition forces target Special Groups leader, 49 criminals killed

OTOH...

Iraqi officials reported only 13 deaths, including women and children. The U.S. military said it was not aware of any civilian casualties, and the discrepancy in the death tolls and accounts of what happened could not be reconciled. American commanders reported no U.S. casualties.
So, when will we be able to trust "Iraqi officials"...?

Reading the headline and teaser one might think that it was 49 of OUR guys that were killed...

I couldn't figure out from the headline if it was our guys or the enemy who got killed.
