Headline News

For those who only read the headlines, the news was filled with ‘selective’ headlines yesterday. Here’s an example;

French "knew in 2001 al Qaeda was planning hijack"
Washington Post - 23 hours ago
PARIS (Reuters) - French secret services produced nine reports between September 2000 and August 2001 looking at the al Qaeda threat to the United States, and knew it planned to hijack an aircraft, the French daily Le Monde said on Monday.

What’s not in the headlines is the fact that the CIA was given these reports by the French. That fact changes how the headline reads…dramatically.
