At times, locals will point out potential bomb sights, for fear that an attack could harm their children, Lipe said.

We're not talking the Norden bomb sight here; I think they mean "potential bomb sites". Stars and Stripes should have caught this. For some reason the confusion of these two words seems to be getting very common.

Hiding those "sights" in the dirt.

Remember those old WWII flicks about bombers doing europe, and finally they get through all the flak, are over the target, and the navigator sticks his nose into the bomb sight? :>)

"Stars and Stripes should have caught this."

They get less professional with every passing year.

If you're in the mood for a snotfight, email their ombudsman about their left-wing content.

This is an error that would easily pass both a spell check and a grammar/context check. It just demonstrates that there is no substitute for proofreading. But I still can't catch the instances where I have revised text and end up duplicating the last word of one line as the first word of the next line.
