Interesting top story from Google news this morning:

“Iraqi Townspeople say 5 Civilians Killed by US Troops” Voice of America – 30 minutes ago

Iraqi witnesses say five civilians were among those killed earlier this week by US forces responding to an ambush on their patrol north of Baghdad.

Then there are the follow-up headlines from other sources:

“113 killed in US mopping-up operation in northern Iraq” Channel News Asia

“80 Iraqis killed by American forces in one day, a fire at a main oil pipeline in Iraq” Arabic News

Now, everyone knows that the VoA has a virtual directive to present the US in the best possible light. I just wish they could be more like the BBC.
