...in one instance missing contamination that could have caused "mass sickness or death," ...

"Could have", but did it?

A lot of things go wrong in wartime, but the AP seems to make it a point to find anything that "could go wrong", "did go wrong", "might go wrong", "almost went wrong", etc.

But, the AP overlooks a lot of things that "go right".

Sort of like the bird-flu might mutate to a human-to-human transmitted form or civil war might break out in Iraq. When there is not enough real bad news, the MSM hypothesizes bad news (and likely the bad news it not-so-secretly wishes would happen).
