Headline vs. Story
Another case where the headline implies a story that the body of the report does not. This AP story discussing the alleged existence of CIA prisons in Europe notes that:
Swiss senator Dick Marty's report to Europe's top human rights body was thin on evidence but raises the possibility of a cover-up involving both friends and critics of Washington's war on terror. It says European governments "did not seem particularly eager to establish" the facts.
Meanwhile, the headline blares loud & proud that the Probe of CIA Prisons Implicates EU Nations.
So the thin-on-evidence report, which Tony Blair notes "has nothing new in it," indicts the US and member-EU nations.
Hhhmm.
