That's (IMO) the problem with reporting the news, what is left out is sometimes as important as what is included. How sentences are strung together (as noted above) sometimes lead to inferences that don't hold up to close scrutiny. Both sides do it, so I'm not accusing. It's really sad actually, unless one is personally involved with a given situation, we can't always know what to believe. Heckeven then we know how unreliable eye-witness accounts can be :D
Ah, there's the rub.
